DVD
You can connect up to seven HDMI-compatible devices (6-inputs/1-output) 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 (vpage49)
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 (vpage11).
•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.

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” (vpage13).
•Signals cannot be output to DVI-D devices that do not support HDCP.

Playback (Advanced operation) (vpage49)
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 positions, as shown in the
illustration (up to six positions).
•When performing Audyssey® Setup, Audyssey MultEQ®/
Audyssey Dynamic EQ®/Audyssey Dynamic Volume® functions
become active (vpage61).
•To set up the speakers manually, use “Speakers” (vpage 71)
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 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 positions, as shown in the illustration (up to six
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.

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® 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.
