connectors

Video signal Video signal

Video connector

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.

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89)

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.

NOTE

•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.

•When connecting a TV that does not support the ARC function, an audio cable connection is required in addition to the HDMI cable. In this case, refer to “Connecting a TV” (vpage13) for the connection method. For the ARC function, see “About ARC (Audio Return Channel) function” (vpage8).

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” (vpage13).

•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.

Settings required when using a TV that supports the ARC function

When using a TV that supports the ARC function, make the following settings.

•Set “HDMI Control” (vpage111) to “On”.

•Set “Control Monitor” (vpage111) to match the number of the HDMI MONITOR connector connected

to the TV that supports the ARC function.

NOTE

If the TV that supports the ARC function is connected to both HDMI MONITOR 1 and HDMI MONITOR 2 connectors, you cannot use ARC function at the same time.

•Video signals are not output if the input video signals do not match the monitor’s resolution. In this case, switch the Blu-ray Disc/DVD player’s resolution to a resolution with which the monitor is compatible.

•When this unit and monitor are connected with an HDMI cable, if the monitor is not compatible with HDMI audio signal playback, only the video signals are output to the monitor. Make audio connections (vpage13 “Connecting a TV”).

Set up speakers (Audyssey® Setup)

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106).

•To set up the speakers manually, use “Speakers” (vpage119) 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 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.
