volume, etc.) in conjunction with TV remote control operations. You can also control
playback devices (HDMI Control-compatible BD/DVD players, etc.) connected to this
unit with an HDMI cable.
For details on connections, see “Connecting a TV” (p.21) and “Connecting video

the TV.
• We recommend using TV and playback devices from the same manufacturer so that HDMI Control works
more effectively.
