Connecting using HDMI

If you have an HDMI or DVI (with HDCP) equipped
component, you can connect it to this receiver using a

commercially available HDMI cable.

1

The HDMI connection transfers uncompressed digital
video, as well as almost every kind of digital audio that the
connected component is compatible with, including
DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, SACD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby
TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio (see below for
limitations), Video CD/Super VCD, CD and MP3. See
About the video converter on page 15 for more on HDMI
compatibility.

1

Use an HDMI cable to connect one of the HDMI IN

interconnects on this receiver to an HDMI output on
your HDMI component.
The

HDMI indicator lights on the front panel when an

HDMI-equipped component is connected.

2

Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI OUT

interconnect on this receiver to an HDMI interconnect
on an HDMI-compatible monitor.

• The arrow on the cable connector body should be

facing left for correct alignment with the connector
on the player.

3

Use the INPUT SELECT button to select the HDMI

input you’ve connected to (for example, HDMI 2).
You can also perform the same operation by using the
INPUT SELECTOR dial on the front panel or by pressing
HDMI on the remote control repeatedly.

• Set the HDMI parameter in

Setting the Audio options

on page 71 to

THROUGH if you want to hear HDMI

audio output from your TV or flat panel TV (no sound
will be heard from this receiver).

• If the video signal does not appear on your TV or flat

panel 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 converted. In this case, use an analog video
connection.

• You can’t hear HDMI audio through this receiver’s

digital out jacks.

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, one connector (instead of
several cables and connectors), and communication
between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

HDMI, the HDMI Logo and High-Definition Multimedia
Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI
Licensing LLC.

Note

1 • An HDMI connection can only be made with DVI-equipped components compatible with both DVI and High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP). If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you will need a separate adaptor (DVI

HDMI) to do so. A DVI connection, however, does not support

audio signals. Consult your local audio dealer for more information.

• If you connect a component that is not compatible with HDCP, an

HDCP ERROR message is displayed on the front panel display. Some components

that are compatible with HDCP still cause this message to be displayed, but so long as there is no problem with displaying video this is not a malfunction.

• Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers.
• This receiver supports SACD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. To take advantage of these formats, however, make sure

that the component connected to this receiver also supports the corresponding format.
