This connection is
required in order to
listen to the sound of
the TV over the
receiver.
!
For input components, connections other than HDMI connections are also possible (see
Connecting your DVD player with no HDMI output
on page 17 ).
!
If you want to listen to the sound of the TV over the receiver, connect the receiver and TV with audio
cables.
—
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
terminal, so there is no need to connect an audio cable. In this case, set
TV Audio
at
HDMI Setup
to
via HDMI
(see
HDMI Setup
on page 43 ).

Connecting your equipment
!
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.
