Connecting an HDMI-compatible device
You can connect up to five HDMI-compatible devices (4-inputs/1-output) to the unit.
If the device connected to this unit is equipped with an HDMI connector, it is recommended to use HDMI
connections. Connections with an HDMI cable offer the following benefits that can not be achieved with
other connection methods.
•High quality playback by transmitting audio and video via digital signals
HDMI connections can transmit high definition video and high quality audio formats adopted by Bluray disc players (Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, DTS-HD Master Audio).
HDMI connections also convey information required for playback between devices. This information
is used for copyright protection and TV resolution recognition.
•Transmission of audio and video signals with a single HDMI cable
Previous connections require multiple audio and video cables, but HDMI connections require only a
single HDMI cable to transmit audio and video signals. This allows wires in a home theater system,
which tend to be complicated, to be more organized.
•Standby Pass (vpage35)
Outputs signals received from the HDMI input connector to the TV connected to the HDMI output
connector even when the unit is in standby mode.
•This unit also supports 3D video playback and other functions related to video and audio
(vpage8).
•There is more than one version of HDMI standard. The supported functions and the performance
vary according to the version. This unit complies with the HDMI standard, supporting the 3D playback
function. To enjoy these functions, the HDMI device connected to this unit also needs to use the same
version of the standard. For the version of the HDMI standard on the device connected to this unit, see
the device’s manual.
•Some TVs do not support audio input via HDMI connections. For details, see your TV’s manual.
•When “Standby Pass” is set to other than “OFF”, more power is consumed than in normal standby
mode.

•The audio signal from the HDMI output connector (sampling frequency, number of channels, etc.) may be
limited by the HDMI audio specifications of the connected device regarding permissible inputs.
•Only an HDMI signal is output from the HDMI MONITOR OUT connector.
Connecting to a device equipped with a DVI-D connector
The DVI-D (Digital Visual Interface) method is also used for video transmission via digital signals. This is
developed mainly for computers, and some AV devices such as projectors are equipped with this interface.
To output HDMI video signals to a DVI-D video input compatible device, use an HDMI/DVI conversion
cable, which converts HDMI video signals to DVI signals.
The DVI-D connector can transmit high quality digital signals, but the copy guard and other issues may
hinder normal operations for some device combinations.
NOTE
•No sound is output when connected to a device equipped with a DVI-D connector. Make audio
connections as described in “Connecting a TV” (vpage10).
•Signals cannot be output to DVI-D devices that do not support HDCP.
•Depending on the combination of devices, the video signals may not be output.
