About HDMI

digital audio signals over a single HDMI cable.
“HDMI”, “HDMI logo” and “High-Definition Multimedia

NOTE
These functions will not work if the device connected to the
HDMI terminal does not support Deep Color or x.v.Color signal
transfer or the Auto Lip Sync function.
The HDMI control function may not work depending on the
device it is connected to and its settings.
You cannot operate a TV or Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player that
is not compatible with the HDMI control function.
Copyright Protection System (HDCP)
The AVR-990 supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents
Protection). HDCP is a copyright protection technology for digital
video signals. The devices connected to the AVR-990 must also
support HDCP.
NOTE
When a device that does not support HDCP is connected, video
signals are not properly output.

Connecting Devices
Use a cable on which the HDMI logo is indicated (a certified HDMI
product) for connection to the HDMI connector. Normal playback
may not be possible when using a cable other than one on which the
HDMI logo is indicated (a non-HDMI-certified product).
When the AVR-990 is connected to other devices with HDMI cables,
also connect the AVR-990 and TV using an HDMI cable.
When a device supporting Deep Color signal transfer is connected,
use a cable compatible with HDMI version 1.3a.
Video signals are not output if the input video signals do not match
the monitor’s resolution. In this case, switch the Blu-ray Disc/
DVD player’s resolution to a resolution with which the monitor is
compatible.
