This unit automatically converts input video signals and outputs the signals from the HDMI OUT jack.

The HDMI of this unit supports High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP),

We recommend that you use an HDMI cable shorter than 5 m (16 ft) with the HDMI logo printed on it.

Priority order for audio input signals

When digital and analog audio signals are simultaneously input from a single source component, this unit plays back digital audio signals by priority. For example, if audio signals are input to the DIGITAL IN (AUX 1) and AUDIO IN (AUX 1) jacks simultaneously, this unit plays back audio signals input to the DIGITAL IN (AUX 1) jack when “AUX1” is selected as the input source.

Connecting external components

Connect external components (TV, Blu-ray disc player, etc.) to this unit. Do not plug the power supply cable into an AC wall outlet until all connections are complete.
