Control with HDMI function
About the Control with HDMI function
Synchronized operations below with a
Control
with HDMI-compatible Pioneer TV or Blu-ray Disc player are pos-
sible when the component is connected to the receiver using an HDMI cable.
!
The receiver’s volume can be set and the sound can be muted using the TV’s remote control.
!
The receiver’s input switches over automatically when the TV’s input is changed or a
Control
with HDMI-
compatible component is played.
!
The receiver’s power is also set to standby, when the TV’s power is set to standby.
Important
!
With Pioneer devices, the
Control
with HDMI functions are referred to as “KURO LINK”.
!
You cannot use this function with components that do not support
Control
with HDMI.
!
We only guarantee this receiver will work with Pioneer
Control
with HDMI-compatible components. However,
we do not guarantee that all synchronized operations will work with components that support the
Control
with
HDMI function.
!
Use a High Speed HDMI
®
/
TM
cable when you want to use the
Control
with HDMI function. The
Control
with
HDMI function may not work properly if a different type of HDMI cable is used.
!
For details about concrete operations, settings, etc., refer to also the operating instructions for each
component.
Making Control with HDMI connections
You can use synchronized operation for a connected TV and other components.
!
Be sure to connect the TV’s audio cable to the audio input of this unit. When the TV and receiver are connected
by HDMI connections, if the TV supports the HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) function, the sound of the
TV is input to the receiver via the
HDMI OUT 1
terminal, so there is no need to connect an audio cable. In this
case, set
ARC
at
HDMI Setup
to
ON
(see
HDMI Setup
on
page 58
).
For details, see
Connecting your TV and playback components
on
page 23
.
Important
!
When connecting this system or changing connections, be sure to switch the power off and disconnect the
power cord from the wall socket. After completing all connections, connect the power cords to the wall socket.
!
After this receiver is connected to an AC outlet, a 2 second to 10 second HDMI initialization process begins.
You cannot carry out any operations during this process. The
HDMI
indicator in the front panel display blinks
during this process, and you can turn on this receiver once it has stopped blinking. When you set the
Control
with HDMI to
OFF
, you can skip this process. For details about the
Control
with HDMI feature, see
Control with
HDMI function
on
page 57
.
!
To get the most out of this function, we recommend that you connect your HDMI component not to a TV but
rather directly to the HDMI terminal on this receiver.
!
The
Control
with HDMI function can be used with a TV connected to the
HDMI OUT 1
terminal, but not with a
TV connected to the
HDMI OUT 2
terminal.
