Connecting HDMI devices
You can connect up to five HDMI-compatible devices (4-inputs/1-output) to the this unit.
If the device connected to this unit is equipped with an HDMI connector, it is recommended to use HDMI
connections. Connections with an HDMI cable offer the following benefits that can not be achieved with
other connection methods.
•
High quality playback by transmitting audio and video via digital signals
HDMI connections can transmit high definition video and high quality audio formats adopted by Blu-
ray disc players (Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, DTS-HD Master Audio).
HDMI connections also convey information required for playback between devices. This information
is used for copyright protection and TV resolution recognition.
•
Transmission of audio and video signals with a single HDMI cable
Previous connections required multiple audio and video cables, but HDMI connections require only a
single HDMI cable to transmit audio and video signals. This allows wires in a home theater system,
which tend to be complicated, to be more easily organized.
•
Pass Through (

Outputs signals received from the HDMI input connector to the TV connected to the HDMI output
connector even when the unit is in standby mode.
•
This unit also supports 3D video playback and other functions related to video and audio
(

page 8 ).
• There is more than one version of the HDMI standard. The supported functions and the performance
vary according to the version. This unit complies with the HDMI standard that supports the 3D playback
functions. To enjoy these functions, the HDMI device connected to this unit also needs to use the same
version of the standard. For the version of the HDMI standard on the device connected to this unit, see
the device’s manual.
• Some TVs do not support audio input via HDMI connections. For details, see your TV’s manual.
• When “Pass Through” is set to other than “Off”, more power is consumed than in normal standby mode.
