About HDMI
The HDMI connection transfers uncompressed
digital video, as well as almost every kind of
digital audio.
This receiver incorporates High-Definition
Multimedia Interface (HDMI
®
) technology.
This receiver supports the functions described
below through HDMI connections.

(contents protected by HDCP (1080p/24,
1080p/60, etc.))
!
3D signal transfer
!
Deep Color signal transfer
!
x.v.Color signal transfer
!

Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio),
DVD-Audio, CD, SACD (DSD signal), Video
CD, Super VCD
!
Synchronized operation with components
using the
Control
with HDMI function (see
Control with HDMI function
on page 53 )
Note
!
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
d
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.
!
Use a High Speed HDMI
®
cable. If an 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.
!
Signal transfer is only possible when
connected to a compatible component.
!
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.

About the video converter
The video converter ensures that all video
sources are output through all of the
MONITOR
VIDEO OUT
jacks. The only exception is HDMI:
since this resolution cannot be downsampled,
you must connect your monitor/TV to the
receiver’s HDMI output when connecting this
video source.
If several video components are assigned to
the same input function (see
The Input Setup
menu
on page 34 ), the converter gives priority
to HDMI, component, then composite (in that
order).

Note
!
If the video signal does not appear on your
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 converted. In this
case, try switching Digital Video Conversion
(in
Setting the Video options
on page 58 )
OFF
.
!
The signal input resolutions that can be
converted from the component video input
for the HDMI output are 480i/576i, 480p/576p,
720p and 1080i. 1080p signals cannot be
converted.
!
Only signals with an input resolution
of 480i/576i can be converted from the
component video input for the composite
MONITOR OUT
terminals.
!
For optimal video performance, THX
recommends switching Digital Video
Conversion (in
Setting the Video options
on
page 58 )
OFF
.
