If you select the input source by pressing AV 1–4, AUDIO 1–4 or PHONO on the remote 
control, the audio played back on the audio device will be output from the unit.

Use the VIDEO AUX jack to temporarily connect a playback device to the unit.

Use the USB jack to connect an iPod or a USB storage device. For details, see 
“Connecting an iPod” (p.65) or “Connecting a USB storage device” (p.69).

Before making a connection, stop playback on the device and turn down the volume on the unit.

❑ HDMI connection

Connect an HDMI-compatible device (such as game consoles and camcorders) to the 
unit with an HDMI cable.

If you select “V-AUX” as the input source by pressing V-AUX on the remote control, the 
video/audio played back on the device will be output from the unit.

• To watch videos input to the VIDEO AUX (HDMI/MHL IN) jack, you need to connect your TV to the HDMI 

OUT jack of the unit (p.26 to 29).

• You need to prepare an HDMI cable that matches the output jacks on your device.

• When “USB” is selected as the input source, video signals input to the VIDEO AUX jacks are output from 

the HDMI OUT and MONITOR OUT (VIDEO) jacks by default. You can change the video out setting in 
“Video Out” (p.93) in the “Input” menu.

• The PHONO jack of the unit is compatible with an MM cartridge. To connect a turntable with a
