In order to play back digital video and audio such as BD-Video or DVD-Video via HDMI connection, both
this unit and TV or the player need to support the copyright protection system known as HDCP (High-
bandwidth Digital Content Protection System). HDCP is copyright protection technology comprised of
data encryption and authentication of the connected AV devices. This unit supports HDCP.
•If a device that does not support HDCP is connected, video and audio are not output correctly. Read
the owner’s manual of your television or player for more information.
About HDMI cables
•When a device supporting Deep Color is connected, use a cable compatible with “High Speed HDMI
cable” or “High Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet”.
•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 1.4a.
HDMI control function (vpage38)
This function allows you to operate external devices from the unit and operate the unit from external
devices.
NOTE
•The HDMI control function may not work depending on the device it is connected to and its settings.
•You cannot operate a TV or Blu-ray Disc player/DVD player that is not compatible with the HDMI control
function.
About 3D function
This unit supports input and output of 3D (3 dimensional) video signals of HDMI 1.4a.
To play back 3D video, you need a TV and player that provide support for the HDMI 1.4a 3D function and
a pair of 3D glasses.
NOTE
•When playing back 3D video, refer to the instructions provided in the manual of your playback device
together with this manual.
•If you operate the menu while playing back 3D video content, 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.
•If 3D video with no 3D information is input, the menu screen and status display on this unit are displayed
over the playback video.
•If 2D video is converted to 3D video on the television, the menu screen and status display on this unit
are not displayed correctly. To view the menu screen and status display on this unit correctly, turn the
television setting that converts 2D video to 3D video off.
About ARC (Audio Return Channel) function
The Audio Return Channel in HDMI 1.4a enables a TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data “upstream”
to this unit.
NOTE
•To enable the ARC function, set “HDMI Control” to “ON” (vpage58).
•When connecting a TV that does not support the ARC function, a separate connection using an audio
cable is required. In this case, refer to “Connecting a TV” (vpage7) for the connection method.
About Content Type
HDMI 1.4a enables simple, automated picture setting selection with no user intervention.
NOTE
To enable the Content Type, set “Video Mode” to “Auto” (vpage65).

Connecting an HDMI-compatible device
•When this unit is connected to other devices with HDMI cables, connect this unit and TV also with an
HDMI cable.
•When connecting a device that supports Deep Color, please use a “High Speed HDMI cable” or “High
Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet”.
•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.
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.
Connecting to a device equipped with a DVI-D connector
When an HDMI/DVI conversion cable (sold separately) is used, the HDMI video signals are converted to
DVI signals, allowing connection to a device equipped with a DVI-D connector.
NOTE
•No sound is output when connected to a device equipped with a DVI-D connector. Make separate audio
connections.
•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.

The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and
listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made
automatically. This is called “Audyssey
®
Auto 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 positions, as shown in the
illustration (up to six positions).
•When performing Audyssey
®
Auto Setup, Audyssey MultEQ
®
/
Audyssey Dynamic EQ

functions
become active (vpage50, 51).
•To set up the speakers manually, use “Speaker Setup”
(vpage55) on the menu.
NOTE
•Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt
the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones,
televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home
appliances, light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may
be affected by these sounds.
•Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics during
the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not
in use).
•Do not unplug the setup microphone from the main unit until
Audyssey
®
Auto 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.
•Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey
®
Auto setup. This
is part of normal operation. If there is background noise in room,
these test signals will increase in volume.
•Operating
VOLUME+, – during
the measurements will cancel the
measurements.
•Measurement cannot be performed when
headphones are connected.

About setup microphone placement
•Measurements are performed by placing the setup microphone
successively at multiple positions throughout the entire listening
area, as shown in GExampleqH. For best results, we recommend
you measure in six positions, as shown in the illustration (up to six
positions).
•Even if the listening environment is small as shown in GExamplewH,
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
®
Auto Setup, place the setup
microphone in the main listening position. Audyssey MultEQ
®
uses
the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance,
level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
