➤ Connecting playback devices

■

The unit has two HDMI output jacks. If you connect another TV or a projector to the unit 
with an HDMI cable, you can switch the TV (or projector) to be used for watching 
videos with the remote control (p.49).

• HDMI Control is not available on the HDMI OUT 2 jack.

• If you set “HDMI OUT2 Assign” (p.113) in the “Setup” menu to “Zone2”, you can connect a video monitor for 

Zone2 to the HDMI OUT 2 jack and enjoy videos and audio using the video monitor (p.82).

The unit is equipped with a variety of input jacks including HDMI input jacks to allow 
you to connect different types of playback devices. For information on how to connect 
an iPod or a USB storage device, see the following pages.

• Connecting an iPod (p.65) 

• Connecting a USB storage device (p.69) 

Connect video devices such as BD/DVD players, set-top boxes (STBs) and game 
consoles to the unit. Depending on the video/audio output jacks available on your video 
device, choose one of the following connections. We recommend using an HDMI 
connection if the video device has an HDMI output jack.

• Videos input to the unit via HDMI cannot be output to a TV connected to the unit with a cable other than 

HDMI.

• The following explanation is based on the assumption that you have not changed the “Input Assignment” 

setting (p.114) in the “Setup” menu. As necessary, you can assign the COMPONENT VIDEO (

A , B , C , 

D ), COAXIAL (a, b, f) and OPTICAL (c, d, e) jacks to another input source.

• If you make more than one audio connection for one input source, an audio signal played back on the unit 

will be determined according to the “Audio Select” setting (p.90) in the “Option” menu.

Connect a video device to the unit with an HDMI cable.

If you select the input source by pressing AV 1–7 on the remote control, the video/audio 
played back on the video device will be output from the unit.
