About HDMI
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
was developed to provide the technologies 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 uncompressed
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.
Even if you connect the playback components
with an HDMI cable, no sound will come out
of the speaker connected to this receiver. An
audio cable connection is also needed for
this.

Analog audio cables
Use stereo RCA phono cables to connect
analog audio components. These cables are
typically red and white, and you should
connect the red plugs to R (right) terminals
and white plugs to L (left) terminals.
Note
1 If the video signal does not appear on your TV, 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 a (analog)
composite connection.
