➤ Connecting a TV

En

a Enable HDMI Control on the TV and playback devices (such as a HDMI 

Control-compatible BD/DVD player).

b Turn off the TV’s main power and then turn off the unit and playback devices.

c Turn on the unit and playback devices and then turn on the TV.

d Switch the TV input to display video from the unit.

e Check the following.

On the unit: The input to which the playback device is connected is selected. If not, 
select the input source manually.

On the TV: The video from the playback device is displayed.

f Check that the unit is properly synchronized with the TV by turning off the TV or 

adjusting the TV volume with the TV remote control.

This completes the necessary settings.

If you select a TV program with the TV remote control, the input source of the unit will be 
automatically switched to “AUDIO 1” and the TV audio will be played back on the unit.

• If HDMI Control does not work properly, try turning off and on (or unplugging and then plugging in again) 

the devices. It may solve the problem.

• If the unit is not synchronized to the TV’s power operations, check the priority of the audio output setting on 

the TV.

• “AUDIO 1” is set as TV audio input at the factory. If you have connected any external device to the AUDIO 1 

jacks, use “TV Audio Input” (p.122) in the “Setup” menu to change the TV audio input assignment. To use 
the SCENE function (p.61), you also need to change the input assignment for SCENE(TV).

■

Connect the TV to the unit with an HDMI cable and an audio cable (digital optical or 
stereo pin cable).

If you select “AUDIO 1” as the input source by pressing AUDIO 1 or SCENE(TV) on the 
remote control, the TV audio will be played back on the unit.

• By connecting a TV to the unit with an HDMI cable, any video input to the unit can be output to the TV, 

regardless of the method used to connect the video device to the unit. For details, see “Video signal flow” 
(p.156).

• If you have connected any external device to the AUDIO 1 jacks, connect the TV to one of the AUDIO 2–4 

jacks. To use the SCENE function (p.61), you also need to change the input assignment for SCENE(TV).

• You can connect another TV or a projector by using the HDMI OUT 2 jack (p.40).
