Connecting the AV Receiver/AV Amplifier—Continued
Making HDMI Connections
■ Video Signals
Digital video signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are normally output by the HDMI OUT for display on your TV.
Composite video, S-Video, and component video sources can be upconverted for the HDMI output. See “Video Con-
nection Formats” on page 23 for more information.
■ Audio Signals
Digital audio signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are output by the speakers and headphones connected to the AV
receiver/AV amplifier. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI OUT, unless the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to
“On” (see page 93).
To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers, set the “Audio TV Out”
setting to “On” (see page 93), and set your DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.
Notes:
• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can
be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need
to make a separate connection for audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In
addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.
• When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver/AV amplifier, set the HDMI component so that its
video can be seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV
receiver/AV amplifier). If the TV power is off or the TV is set to another input source, this may result in no sound
from the AV receiver/AV amplifier or the sound may be cut off.
• When the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (see page 93), or “TV Control” is set to “Enable” (see page 94) and
you’re listening through your TV’s speakers, if you turn up the AV receiver/AV amplifier volume control, the sound
will be output by the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s speakers. To stop the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s speakers producing
sound, change the settings, change your TV’s settings, or turn down the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s volume.
• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the
picture is poor or there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected
component’s instruction manual for details.
Step 1:
Use HDMI cables to connect the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible Blu-ray
player/DVD player, TV, projector, and so on.
Step 2:
Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector in the HDMI Input Setup (see page 42).
