Connecting an HDMI-compatible device to
play back videos/audio
Connect an HDMI-compatible device (such as a TV) to play back
videos/audio at Zone2 or Zone4. If you connect an AV amplifier, you
can enjoy multi-channel playback in another room (Zone4).
• To watch videos played back on a video device at Zone2 or Zone4, you need to
connect the video device to the unit with an HDMI cable (p.41).
• We recommend that you disable HDMI Control on the playback devices connected
to the unit.
• On-screen operations are not available for Zone4.
To assign the HDMI OUT 2 (ZONE OUT) jack to Zone2 or Zone4, set
“HDMI OUT2 Assign” (p.124) in the “Setup” menu to “Zone2” or “Zone4”.
• When the HDMI OUT 2 (ZONE OUT) jack is assigned to Zone2, you can
enable/disable the audio output from the HDMI OUT 2 jack by setting “Audio
Output” (p.124) in the “Setup” menu to “On” or “Off” (default).
• You can also use speakers placed in Zone2 to output audio (p.32).
