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.
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, Blu-ray
Disc, Video CD/Super VCD, CD and MP3, etc.
If you have a Pioneer HDD/DVD recorder equipped with an HDMI
output terminal, connect it to the receiver subwoofer’s
HDMI IN 2
terminal. The receiver subwoofer’s input can be switched and the
recorder operated easily using the included remote control. (In the
same way, connect a Pioneer DVD player to the
HDMI IN 3
terminal.)
1 Use the supplied HDMI cable to connect the HDMI IN 2 to 3
interconnect on this receiver subwoofer to an HDMI output on
your HDMI component.
Once this receiver subwoofer is properly connected to your HDMI
component, the
HDMI indicator (red) lights up on the display unit
when you watch HDMI contents.
2 Use the supplied HDMI cable to connect the HDMI OUT
interconnect on this receiver subwoofer to an HDMI
interconnect on a HDMI-compatible display.
• The arrow on the cable connector body should be face down for
correct alignment with the connector on the unit.
3 Use the HDMI 2 to 3 button to select the HDMI input you’ve
connected to.
The remote control switches to the
DVR control mode when HDMI 2
is pressed, the DVD control mode when HDMI 3 is pressed. If you
do not want to operate these components, press the SYSTEM
CONTROL button to set the remote control to the receiver control
mode.
You can also use the display unit INPUT SELECTOR to carry out this
operation.
• Set the HDMI Mode in HDMI mode setting below to Through
Mode if you want to hear HDMI audio output from your TV or
Flat Screen TV (no sound will be heard from this receiver).
• If the video signal does not appear on your TV or Flat Screen TV, try
adjusting the resolution settings on your component or display.
Note
• 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.
• This unit has been designed to be compliant with HDMI (High-
Definition Multimedia Interface).
• This unit 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 unit
also supports the corresponding format.
HDMI mode setting
