the DVD player to 2ch PCM. (It may not be possible
depending on the player models.)

• Even if you set to output audio on the TV speakers, audio

will be output from the speakers connected to the AV
receiver when you adjust the volume or switch the input
on the AV receiver. To output audio from the TV speakers,
re-do the operations on the TV.

• When you select anything other than the HDMI jack

where the AV receiver is connected as the input on the TV,
input on the AV receiver will be switched to “TV/CD”.

• The AV receiver will automatically power on in conjunc-

tion when it determines it to be necessary. Even if the AV

receiver is connected to an

compatible TV or

player/recorder, it will not power on if it is not necessary.
It may not power on in conjunction when the TV is set to
output audio from the TV.

• Linked functions with the AV receiver may not work

depending on the model. Operate the AV receiver directly
in such cases.
