To hear audio from your HDMI component through
this system, make analog and/or digital connections as
necessary.
On the rear panel, you must connect to the audio jacks
from a set of audio/video inputs (for example,
DVR/VCR1
or
DVR/VCR2
as shown in the illustration).
• Without this connection, HDMI audio will still be
output from your TV or plasma display (though no
sound will be heard from this receiver).
4
Assign the HDMI input(s) you connected to the
corresponding input source.
After connecting, you must specify which inputs(s) you
are using for your HDMI component in
Assigning the
HDMI inputs
on page 51.
5
Use the input source buttons to select the input
source you assigned in the previous step, then press
SIGNAL SEL
to select the audio input signal.
You can also use the front panel controls to do this (see
Choosing the input signal
on page 29).
• If the video signal does not appear on your TV or
plasma display, 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 an (analog) S-video or composite connection.
About HDMI
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports
both video and audio on a single digital connection for
use with DVD players, DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV
devices. HDMI was developed to provide the technolo-
gies of High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one
specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content
transmitted and received by DVI-compliant displays.
HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced,
or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel
surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncom-
pressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes
per second (with HDTV signals), one connector (instead
of several cables and connectors), and communication
between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

Connecting the multichannel analog inputs
For DVD Audio and SACD playback, your DVD player may
have 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 channel analog outputs (depending
on whether your player supports surround back
channels).
1
Make sure that the player is set to output
multichannel analog audio.
1
Connect the front, surround, center and subwoofer
outputs on your DVD player to the corresponding
MULTI CH input jack on this receiver.
• Use standard RCA/phono jack cables for the
connections.
2
If your DVD player also has outputs for surround
back channels, connect these to the corresponding
MULTI CH input jacks on this receiver.
• Use standard RCA/phono jack cables for the
connections.
• If there is a single surround back output, connect it to
the
SURROUND BACK L (Single)
jack on this
receiver.
Selecting the multichannel analog inputs
If you have connected a decoder or a DVD player as
above, you must select the analog multichannel inputs
for surround sound playback.

Make sure you have set the playback source to the
proper output setting.
For example, you might need to set your DVD player to
output multichannel analog audio.

Press
MULTI CH IN
(front panel).
• Depending on the DVD player you’re using, the
analog output level of the subwoofer channel may be
too low. In this case switch the receiver into standby,
then press
STANDBY/ON
while holding down
SBch PROCESSING
on the front panel. This switches
between
SW IN +10dB
(increase of 10 decibels) and
SW IN 0dB
(default) in the subwoofer channel.
Note
1 To listen to multichannel analog audio you’ll need to select
MULTI CH IN
(see
Selecting the multichannel analog inputs
above for more on this).
2 • When playback from the multichannel inputs is selected, you can’t use the sound processing features,
SIGNAL SELECT
, or any of the listening modes
(including
STEREO
and the surround back channel processing).
• When playback from the multichannel inputs is selected, only the volume and channel levels can be set.
• You can’t listen to your speaker B (Second Zone) system during playback from the multichannel inputs.
