Important information

Make Settings as Necessary

•If you do not want this unit to convert video signals automatically, use the following setting item to disable this function.

“Video Conversion” (vpage 113)

•If you want to change the resolution of video signals output to the TV, use the following setting item to do so.

“Resolution” (vpage 114)

•The video conversion function supports the NTSC, PAL, SECAM, NTSC 4.43, PAL-N, PAL-M and PAL-60 formats.

•Resolutions of HDMI-compatible TVs can be checked at “Video” – “Monitor” (vpage 133).

NOTE

•HDMI signals are digital. HDMI signals cannot be converted into analog signals.

•When a non-standard video signal from a game machine or some other source is input, the video conversion function might not operate.

For example, if you connect this unit to an HDMI-compatible TV with a single HDMI cable, this unit automatically converts input signals other than HDMI video signals to HDMI signals to output from the HDMI connector to the TV. This unit outputs only one type of video signals, so video signals output from this unit to the TV remain unchanged even if you switch to a device that outputs another type of video signals for playback. Therefore, you do not need to switch the video input on the TV. Furthermore, this unit converts the input analog video signals such as video and component video signals to high resolution digital HDMI video signals for output, improving the quality of the video.

If your TV does not support HDMI connections, connect this unit to TV with analog video connectors. This unit can not convert HDMI input signals to analog video signals, so when inputting from an HDMI device, use component video or video input connectors.

Informations

You can connect up to eight HDMI-compatible devices (6-inputs/2-outputs) 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. The information is used for copyright protection and TV resolution recognition, the ARC function, the HDMI control function, etc.

•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.

•Mutual control through the HDMI control function (vpage 91)

This unit and the HDMI device connected via HDMI can be linked to perform operations such as power control, volume control, and input source switching.

•Other video and audio functions, such as 3D video playback, Content Type, the ARC function, are supported (vpage 11).

•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 ARC and 3D playback functions. 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.

The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made automatically. This is called “Audyssey® Setup”.

To perform measurement, place the setup microphone in multiple locations all around the listening area. For best results, we recommend you measure in six or more positions, as shown in the illustration (up to eight positions).

•When performing Audyssey® Setup, Audyssey MultEQ® XT/ Audyssey Dynamic EQ®/Audyssey Dynamic Volume® functions become active (vpage 108).

•To set up the speakers manually, use “Speakers” (vpage 121) on the menu.

NOTE

•Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows and turn off the power on electronic devices (TVs, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, etc.). The measurements could be affected by the sounds emitted by such devices.

•During the measurement process, place cell phones outside the listening room. Cell phone signals could disrupt the measurements.

•Do not unplug the setup microphone from the main unit until Audyssey® Setup is completed.

•Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. This will cause inaccurate readings.

•During the measurement process, loud test sounds may be played,

but this is part of normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test signals will increase in volume.

•Operating VOLUME df on the remote control unit or MASTER VOLUME on the

main unit during the measurements will cancel the measurements.

•Measurement cannot be performed when headphones are connected. Unplug the headphones before performing Audyssey® Setup.

About setup microphone placement

•Measurements are performed by placing the setup microphone successively at multiple positions throughout the entire listening area, as shown in GExample qH. For best results, we recommend you measure in six or more positions, as shown in the illustration (up to eight positions).

•Even if the listening environment is small as shown in GExample wH, measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment results in more effective correction.

About the main listening position (*M)

The main listening position is the position where listeners would normally sit or where one would normally sit alone within the listening environment. Before starting Audyssey® Setup, place the setup microphone in the main listening position. Audyssey MultEQ® XT uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
