: when 480i/576i signals are input

For example, when an HDMI-compatible TV is connected to this unit with an HDMI cable, input signals other than HDMI video signals are automatically converted to HDMI signals that are then output from the HDMI connector to the TV. Only one type of video signals is output, so video signals output from this unit to the TV do not change even when the source for playback is switched to a device that outputs video signals in a different format, which allows you to continue with playback without the need to switch the video input source on the TV. Furthermore, the video quality improves because analog video signals such as video and component video signals that are input to this unit are converted to digital HDMI video signals with a higher resolution for output. When a TV does not support the HDMI connection, make an analog connection between this unit and the TV for video signals. This unit cannot convert HDMI input signals to analog video signals, so when signals are input from an HDMI device, use the component video input connector or video input connector. In this case, the component video signals that are input to this unit are converted to video signals.

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 129)

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

“Resolution” (vpage 130)

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” – “HDMI Monitor 1” or “HDMI Monitor 2” (vpage 148).

NOTE

While signals are being upscaled to 4K, the menu screen is only displayed on a TV that is connected to this unit via HDMI.

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

Informations

Connecting an HDMI-compatible device

You can connect up to ten HDMI-compatible devices (7-inputs/3-outputs) to the unit.

When a TV is connected to the HDMI ZONE4 OUT connector, you can play back a video or audio from the device connected to the HDMI 1 – 6 IN connector in ZONE4 (vpage 111).

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 102)

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 13).

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.

For audio connections, use a method other than HDMI connections.

Connecting an HDMI-compatible device

nnAbout ARC (Audio Return Channel) function

This function plays TV audio on this unit by sending the TV audio signal to this unit via HDMI cable.

If a TV without the ARC function is connected via HDMI connections, video signals of the playback device connected to this unit are transmitted to the TV, but this unit can not play back the audio from the TV. If you want to enjoy surround audio for TV program, a separate audio cable connection is required.

In contrast, if a TV with the ARC function is connected via HDMI connections, no audio cable connection required. Audio signals from the TV can be input to this unit through the HDMI cable between this

and the TV. This function allows you to enjoy surround playback on this unit for the TV.

When the ARC function is used, connect a device with a “Standard HDMI cable with Ethernet” or “High Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet” for HDMI.

Refer to the owner’s manual for your TV for details about TV connection and settings.

NOTE

The HDMI ZONE4 OUT connector is not compatible with the ARC function.

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 17 “Connecting a TV”).

Connecting an HDMI-compatible device

NOTE

The HDMI 7 / MHL connector on the front panel does not support the HDMI ZONE4 function.

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 17) for the connection method.

For the ARC function, see “About ARC (Audio Return Channel) function” (vpage 10).

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 17).

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 128) to “On”.

Set “Control Monitor” (vpage 129) 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.

Changing the source assigned to connectors

This unit can change the source that is assigned to the HDMI IN, DIGITAL AUDIO IN, COMPONENT

VIDEO IN, VIDEO IN, AUDIO IN and BALANCED XLR IN connectors.

Let us take a digital audio connection for Blu-ray Disc players for an example. The rear panel digital audio input connectors do not have the input connector indication for Blu-ray disc players (Blu-ray). However, DIGITAL AUDIO IN connectors have the “ASSIGNABLE” indication, which means that you can change the source assigned to these connectors. You can assign Blu-ray disc players to these connectors to use them for Blu-ray disc players. Select “Blu-ray” when switching functions on this unit to play back the source connected to these connectors.
