Yamaha RX-V1900BL User Manual

This unit has four HDMI input jacks and one HDMI output jack for digital audio and video signal input/output.

■ HDMI jack and cable plug

y

• We recommend that you use a commercially available HDMI 

cable shorter than 5 meters (16 feet) with the HDMI logo 
printed on it.

• Use a conversion cable (HDMI jack 

↔

 DVI-D jack) to connect 

this unit to other DVI components.

• You can check the potential problem about the HDMI 

connection (page 37).

• This unit is equipped with the video conversion function 

(page 18).

• Do not disconnect or connect the cable or turn off the power of 

the HDMI components connected to the HDMI OUT jack of 
this unit while data is being transferred. Doing so may disrupt 
playback or cause noise.

• The HDMI OUT jack outputs the audio signals input at the 

HDMI input jacks only.

• If you turn off the video monitor connected to the HDMI OUT 

jack via a DVI connection, the connection may fail.

■ HDMI signal compatibility with this unit

y

• If the input source component can decode the bitstream audio 

signals of audio commentaries, you can play back the audio 
sources with the audio commentaries mixed down by using the 
following connections:
– multi-channel analog audio input (page 23)
– DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL (or COAXIAL)

• Refer to the instruction manuals of the input source component, 

and set the component appropriately.

• When CPPM copy-protected DVD audio is played back, video 

and audio signals may not be output depending on the type of 
the DVD player.

• This unit is not compatible with HDCP-incompatible HDMI or 

DVI components.

• To decode the audio bitstream signals on this unit, set the input 

source component appropriately so that the component outputs 
the audio bitstream signals directly (does not decode the 
bitstream signals on the component).

• This unit is not compatible with the audio commentary features 

(for example, the special audio contents downloaded via 
Internet) of Blu-ray Disc or HD DVD. This unit does not play 
back the audio commentaries of the Blu-ray Disc or HD DVD 
contents.
