• The  input functions below are assigned by default to 

the receiver’s different input terminals. Refer to The 
Input Setup menu on page 43 to change the 
assignments if other connections are used.
For example, the BD terminal is fixed to BD input; no 
other audio and video signals can be input to this 
terminal.

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. See About the 
video converter on page 23 for more on HDMI 
compatibility.

This receiver incorporates High-Definition Multimedia 
Interface (HDMI™) technology.

1 • An HDMI connection can only be made with DVI-equipped components compatible with both DVI and High Bandwidth Digital Content 

Protection (HDCP). If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you will need a separate adaptor (DVI

HDMI) to do so. A DVI connection, 

however, does not support audio signals. Consult your local audio dealer for more information.
• If you connect a component that is not compatible with HDCP, an HDCP ERROR message is displayed on the front panel display. 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.
• Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers.
• This receiver supports SACD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. To take advantage of these formats, however, make 
sure that the component connected to this receiver also supports the corresponding format.

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