Make sure not to bend the cables over the top 
of this unit (as shown in the illustration). If this 
happens, the magnetic field produced by the 
transformers in this unit may cause a 
humming noise from the speakers.

• Before making or changing connections, 

switch off the power and disconnect the 
power cord from the AC outlet.

• Before unplugging the power cord, switch 

the power into standby.

Both video and sound signals can be 
transmitted simultaneously with one cable. If 
connecting the player and the TV via this 
receiver, for both connections, we recommend 
using HDMI cables.

1

Be careful to connect the terminal in the 
proper direction.

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.

• Digital transfer of uncompressed video 

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

• 3D signal transfer

3

• Deep Color signal transfer

3

• x.v.Color signal transfer

3

• Input of multi-channel linear PCM digital 

audio signals (192 kHz or less) for up to 8 
channels

• Input of the following digital audio formats:

4

– Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, 
High bitrate audio (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD 
Master Audio), DVD-Audio, CD, SACD 
(DSD signal), Video CD, Super VCD

1 • Set the HDMI parameter in Setting the Audio options on page 40 to 

THRU (THROUGH) and set the input signal in Choosing 

the input signal on page 43 to 

HDMI, if you want to hear HDMI audio output from your TV or flat panel TV (no sound will be 

heard from this receiver).
• If the video signal does not appear on your TV or flat panel TV, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or 
display. Note that some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be displayed. In this case, use 
a (analog) composite connection.
• When the video signal from the HDMI is 480i, 480p, 576i or 576p, Multi Ch PCM sound and HD sound cannot be received.

2 • 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.

3 Signal transfer is only possible when connected to a compatible component.
4 • 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.
