On the rear panel, you must connect to the
audio jacks from a set of audio/video inputs
(for example,
DVR/VCR
as shown in the
illustration).
• Without this connection, HDMI audio will
still be output from your TV or plasma
display (though no sound will be heard
from this receiver).
4 Assign the HDMI input(s) you connected
to the corresponding input source.
You only need to do this if you didn’t hook up
your HDMI equipment according to the default
settings for the HDMI inputs (
Assigning the
HDMI inputs
on page 63).
5 Use the input source buttons to select the
input source you assigned in the previous step,
then press
SIGNAL SEL
after press
RECEIVER
button to select the audio input signal.
You can also use the front panel controls to do
this (see
Choosing the input signal
on page 34).
• If the video signal does not appear on your
TV or plasma display, 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 an
(analog) S-video or composite connection.
About HDMI
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
supports both video and audio on a single
digital connection for use with DVD players,
DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI
was developed to provide the technologies of
High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
in one specification. HDCP is used to protect
digital content transmitted and received by DVI-
compliant displays.
HDMI has the capability to support standard,
enhanced, or high-definition video plus
standard to multi-channel surround-sound
audio. HDMI features include uncompressed
digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes
per second (with HDTV signals), one connector
(instead of several cables and connectors), and
communication between the AV source and AV
devices such as DTVs.
