Making cable connections
Make sure not to bend the cables over the top of this unit (as
shown in the illustration). If this happens, the magnetic field
produced by the transformers in this unit may cause a
humming noise from the speakers.
Important
Before making or changing connections, switch off the
power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.
Before unplugging the power cord, switch the power into
standby.
HDMI cables
Both video and sound signals can be transmitted
simultaneously with one cable. If connecting the player and
the TV via this receiver, for both connections, use HDMI
cables.
Be careful to connect the terminal in the proper direction.
Note
Set the HDMI parameter in Setting the Audio options on
page 39 to THRU (THROUGH) and set the input signal in
Selecting the audio input signal
on page 28 to HDMI, if you
want to hear HDMI audio output from your TV (no sound
will be heard from this receiver).
If the video signal does not appear on your TV, try adjusting
the resolution settings on your component or display. Note
that some components (such as video game units) have
resolutions that may not be displayed. In this case, use a
(analog) composite connection.
When the video signal from the HDMI is 480i, 480p, 576i or
576p, Multi Ch PCM sound and HD sound cannot be
received.
