component directly to your monitor, please consult the 

component or monitor manual or contact the manufacturer for 

support.

Video signals that are input from the analog video terminal will 

not output from the HDMI terminal. Signals that are input from 

the HDMI terminal will not output from the analog video 

terminal. Be consistent with the type of cable between input 

and output.



Depending in the output settings of the source component, it 

may be outputting a video format that can’t be displayed. 

Change the output settings of the source, or connect using the 

composite video jacks.



This receiver is HDCP-compatible. Check that the components 

you are connecting are also HDCP-compatible. If they are not, 

please connect them using the composite video jacks.



Depending on the connected source component, it’s possible 

that it will not work with this receiver (even if it is HDCP-

compatible). In this case, connect using the composite video 

jacks between source and receiver.



If video images do not appear on your TV, try adjusting the 

resolution, Deep Color or other setting for your component.



To output signals in Deep Color, use an HDMI cable (High 
Speed HDMI

®

 Cable) to connect this receiver to a component 

or TV with the Deep Color feature.





The OSD will not appear if you have connected using the HDMI 

output to your TV. Use composite connections when setting up 

the system.





Check that the HDMI setting is set to AMP (

page 28

).



If the component is a DVI device, use a separate connection for 

the audio.



HDMI format digital audio transmissions require a longer time 

to be recognized. Due to this, interruption in the audio may 

occur when switching between audio formats or beginning 

playback.



Turning on/off the device connected to this unit’s HDMI OUT 

terminal during playback, or disconnecting/connecting the 

HDMI cable during playback, may cause noise or interrupted 

audio.

There are cases where you may not be able to route HDMI 

signals through this receiver (this depends on the HDMI 

equipped component you are connecting-check with the 

manufacturer for HDMI compatibility information).
If you aren’t receiving HDMI signals properly through this 

receiver (from your component), please try the following 

configuration when connecting up.

Connect your HDMI-equipped component directly to the 

display using an HDMI cable. Then use the most convenient 

connection (digital is recommended) for sending audio to the 

receiver. See the operating instructions for more on audio 

connections. Set the display volume to minimum when using 

this configuration.

•

Depending on the component, audio output may be limited 

to the number of channels available from the connected 

display unit (for example audio output is reduced to 2 

channels for a monitor with stereo audio limitations).

•

If you want to switch the input source, you’ll have to switch 

functions on both the receiver and your display unit.

•

Since the sound is muted on the display when using the 

HDMI connection, you must adjust the volume on the 

display every time you switch input sources.
