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 one of the 
following configurations when connecting up.

Configuration A
Use component video cables to connect the video output 
of your HDMI-equipped component to the receiver’s 
component video input. The receiver can then convert the 
analog component video signal to a digital HDMI signal 
for transmission to the display. For this configuration, 
use the most convenient connection (digital is 
recommended) for sending audio to the receiver. See the 
operating instructions for more on audio connections.

• The picture quality will change slightly during 

conversion.

Configuration B
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.

• If  your display only has one HDMI terminal, you can 

only receive HDMI video from the connected 
component.

• 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 function, 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 functions.

Noisy or distorted picture.

• Sometimes a video deck may output a noisy video signal (during scanning, for example), or the 
video quality may just be poor (with some video game units, for example). The picture quality may 
also depend on the settings, etc. of your display device. Switch off the video converter and reconnect 
the source and display device using the same type of connection (component, S-Video or 
composite), then start playback again.
• If the problem still persists when connecting your HDMI component directly to your monitor, 
please consult the component or monitor manual or contact the manufacturer for support.

HDCP ERROR shows in the 
display.

• Check whether or not the connected component is compatible with HDCP. If it is not compatible 
with HDCP, reconnect the source device using a different type of connection (component, S-Video 
or composite). Some components that are compatible with HDCP still cause this message to be 
displayed, but so long as there is no problem with displaying video, this is not a malfunction.

Amp-linked operation not 
possible using KURO LINK 
function.

• Check the HDMI connections.
• The cable may be damaged.
• Select ON for the KURO LINK setting (see KURO LINK Setup on page 64).
• Turn the TV’s power on before turning on this receiver’s power.
• Set the TV side KURO LINK setting to ON.
• VSX-23TXH only: Connect the TV to the HDMI OUT 1 terminal and set the HDMI output to HDMI 
OUT 1. Then turn on first the TV’s power, then this receiver’s power.
