Connecting the AV receiver

About HDMI

Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital
interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, DVD/BD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until
now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable
can carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital
audio, and multichannel PCM).
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

*1

, so TVs and displays

with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and
displays, resulting in no picture.)
The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)

*2

, so only HDCP-compatible components

can display the picture.

Supported Audio Formats

• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
• Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
• Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS Express, DTS-HD High Resolution

Audio, DTS-HD Master Audio)

Your DVD/BD players must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.

Onkyo

for System Control

, which stands for Remote Interactive over HDMI, is the name of the system control function found on Onkyo

components. The AV receiver can be used with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which allows system control over
HDMI and is part of the HDMI standard. CEC provides interoperability between various components, however, opera-
tion with components other than

-compatible components cannot be guaranteed.

• Set “HDMI Control (RIHD)” to “On” (page 109).
• See “Controlling a TV” (page 136) and “Controlling a DVD Player or DVD Recorder” (page 137) for operation.

Notes:
• Do not connect the

-compatible component more than the following number to the HDMI input terminal so

that the linked operations work properly.

a. DVD/BD player is up to three.
b. DVD/BD recorder is up to three.
c. Cable/Satellite Set-top box is up to four.

• Do not connect the AV receiver to the other AV receiver /AV amplifier via HDMI.
• When the

-compatible component more than the above-mentioned is connected, the linked operations are

not guaranteed.

• The

control does not support HDMI OUT SUB. Use HDMI OUT MAIN instead.

About Copyright Protection

The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)

*2

, a copy-protection system for digital

video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.

*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG

*3

in 1999.

*2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to

protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.

*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this open

industry group’s objective is to address the industry’s requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance PCs and
digital displays.

Connecting Components with HDMI

The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard:
x.v.Color, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby
Digital Plus, DSD, and Multichannel PCM
