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, Dolby Digital Plus, 
Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio (see 
below for limitations), Video CD/Super VCD 
and CD.

This receiver incorporates High-Definition 
Multimedia Interface (HDMI

) technology.

This receiver supports the functions described 
below through HDMI connections.

1

• Digital transfer of uncompressed video 

(contents protected by HDCP (1080p/24, 
1080p/60, etc.))

• 3D signal transfer

2

• Deep Color signal transfer

Use stereo RCA phono cables to connect 
analog audio components. These cables are 
typically red and white, and you should 
connect the red plugs to R (right) terminals 
and white plugs to L (left) terminals.

Commercially available coaxial digital audio 
cables or optical cables should be used to 
connect digital components to this receiver.

4

Standard RCA video cables
These cables are the most common type of 
video connection and are used to connect to 
the composite video terminals. The yellow 
plugs distinguish them from cables for audio.

1 • Use a High Speed HDMI

 cable. If HDMI cable other than a High Speed HDMI

 cable is used, it may not work properly.

• When an HDMI cable with a built-in equalizer is connected, it may not operate properly.

2 Signal transfer is only possible when connected to a compatible component.
3 • 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.

4 • When connecting optical cables, be careful when inserting the plug not to damage the shutter protecting the optical socket.

• When storing optical cable, coil loosely. The cable may be damaged if bent around sharp corners.
• You can also use a standard RCA video cable for coaxial digital connections.
