For optimum realism and stunning dynamic range, the power amplifier section features discrete power devices (not integrated circuitry).
By using high current, high power discrete power devices, the amplifier is able to easily drive high quality speakers.
HDMI connections enable quick connection to various digital AV devices (4 inputs, 1 output) (vpage 5)
The unit is equipped with 4 HDMI input connectors for connecting devices with HDMI connectors, such as a Blu-ray Disc player, game console, HD digital camcorder, etc.
Supports HDMI (3D, Deep Color and “x.v.Color”) (vpage 8)
Advanced HDMI features are supported, including 3D passthrough, Deep Color and “x.v.Color”.
High definition audio support
The unit is equipped with a decoder which supports high-quality digital audio format for Blu-ray Disc players such as Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, etc.
Features an PORTABLE input jack on the front panel for connecting portable audio player

Cautions on handling
•Before turning the power on
Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are no problems with the connection cables.
•Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is set to the standby mode. When going on vacation or leaving home for long periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
•About condensation
If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate properly.
If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature before using the unit.
•Cautions on using mobile phones
Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If that occurs, move the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.
•Moving the unit
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units before moving the unit.
•About care
•Wipe the cabinet and control panel clean with a soft cloth.
•Follow the instructions when using a chemical cleaner.
•Benzene, paint thinner or other organic solvents as well as insecticide may cause material changes and discoloration if brought into contact with the unit, and should therefore not be used.

•The menu screen is only displayed on TV connected to this unit via HDMI. If your TV is connected to this unit via other video output connectors, perform menu operations while seeing the display on this unit.
•If you operate the menu while playing back 3D video content or computer’s resolution (e.g. VGA), the playback video is replaced by the menu screen. The playback video is not displayed behind the menu screen.
•This unit does not show the status display while playing back 3D video content or computer’s resolution (e.g. VGA).
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 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 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 (vpage 40)
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 (vpage 8).
•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 “Off”, more power is consumed than in normal standby mode.

Connecting HDMI devices
•Video signals are not output if the input video signals do not match the display’s resolution. In this case, switch the Blu-ray Disc/DVD player’s resolution to a resolution with which the display is compatible.
•When this unit and monitor are connected with an HDMI cable, if the display or monitor is not compatible with HDMI audio signal playback, only the video signals are sent to the display or monitor. Make audio connections (vpage 10 “Connecting a TV”).
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.
•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 displays 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 or adapter.
The DVI-D connector can transmit high quality digital video signals, but 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 10).
•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.

Changing the source assigned to connectors
This unit can change the source that is assigned to the DIGITAL AUDIO IN connectors.
Here, a connection to the DVD player is taken as an example for explanation. The rear panel digital audio input connectors do not have the input connector indication for DVD players (DVD). However, DIGITAL AUDIO IN connectors have the “ASSIGNABLE” indication, which means that you can change the source assigned to these connectors. You can assign DVD players to these connectors to use them for DVD players. If you select “DVD” when you switch the input source for this unit, you can play back the source connected to these connectors.
