HDMI Control
HDMI Control allows you to operate external devices via HDMI. If you connect a TV that
supports HDMI Control to the unit with an HDMI cable, you can control the unit (such as
power and volume) with TV remote control operations. You can also control playback
devices (such as HDMI Control-compatible BD/DVD players) connected to the unit with
an HDMI cable.
For details on connections, see “Connecting a TV” (p.35) and “Connecting video
devices (such as BD/DVD players)” (p.41).

•Standby synchronization

•Switching to input audio from the TV when the TV input is switched to its built-in tuner
•Switching to input video/audio from the selected playback device
•Switching between audio output devices (the unit or TV speaker)
