Connecting HDMI devices
You can connect up to five HDMI-compatible devices (4-inputs/1-output) to the this 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 oer 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 required 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 easily organized.
•Pass Through (vpage40)
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 the HDMI standard. The supported functions and the performance
vary according to the version. This unit complies with the HDMI standard that supports the 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.
•When “Pass Through” is set to other than “O”, more power is consumed than in normal standby mode.

A total of 5.1 channels are played: 3 front channels
(“FL”, “FR” and “C”), 2 surround channels
(“SL” and “SR”) and the “LFE” channel for low
frequencies.
Because of this, there is no crosstalk between
channels and a realistic sound field with a
“threedimensional” feeling (sense of distance,
movement and positioning) is achieved. This
delivers a thrilling surround sound experience in the
home.
Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby Digital Plus is an improved Dolby Digital signal
format that is compatible with up to 7.1 channels
of discrete digital sound and also improves sound
quality thanks to extra data bit rate performance.

Regular music such as that on CDs is encoded into
5 channels to achieve an excellent surround eect.
The surround channel signals are converted into
stereo and full band signals (with a frequency
response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) to create
a “three-dimensional” sound image oering a rich
sense of presence for all stereo sources.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a high definition audio technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories, using lossless
coding technology to faithfully reproduce the sound
of the studio master.

P
Protection circuit
This is a function to prevent damage to devices
within the power supply when an abnormality
such as an overload, excess voltage occurs or over
temperature for any reason.
In this unit, the power indicator blinks and the unit
enters standby mode when an abnormality occurs.
S
Sampling frequency
Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave
(analog signal) at regular intervals and expressing
the height of the wave at each reading in digitized
format (producing a digital signal).
The number of readings taken in one second is
called the “sampling frequency”. The larger the
value, the closer the reproduced sound is to the
original.
Speaker impedance
This is an AC resistance value, indicated in Ω
(ohms). Greater power can be obtained when this
value is smaller.
