• The INPUT OPT jack has priority when you connect 

both the audio output of the TV to the INPUT OPT 
and AUDIO jack of the system.

If you connect any of the 
components with HDMI jacks, 
and the Control for HDMI function 
is set to on

Set “CTRL: HDMI” to “OFF” in the AMP menu 
of the system for the component connected to the 
system using the INPUT OPT or INPUT COAX 
jack (except a TV) individually. For details, refer 
to “Setting the Control for HDMI function to off 
for a component without HDMI jacks” 
(page 23)
.

Depending on the audio output settings of the 
connected component, the sound may output in 2 
channel sound format only. In this case, set the 
connected component to output the sound in 
multi channel sound format (PCM, DTS, Dolby 
Digital). For details on audio output settings, 
refer to the operating instructions supplied with 
the connected component.
