HDMI cable connection
The unit has many HDMI jacks on its rear panel and each
of them corresponds to an input selector button of the same
name on the front panel. For example, a Blu-ray Disc player
will be connected to the IN 1 jack and the BD/DVD button
on the front panel will be used to listen to the playback
sound (if the player is CEC compliant, input will be switched
automatically). If you add another Blu-ray Disc player, you
can use any other jack than IN 1. It is possible to change
assignment of the input jacks and input selector buttons.

For how to make settings, see the Advanced Manual.
To connect the TV and the unit, connect the HDMI OUT
MAIN jack of the unit and the HDMI IN jack of the TV
using an HDMI cable. With this connection, it becomes
possible to display the setting screen of the unit on the
TV or transmit video/audio signals from the player to the
TV. On an ARC (Audio Return Channel) compatible TV,
simply making this connection enables transmission of TV
sound to a power amplifier connected with this unit. If your
TV does not support ARC, you need, in addition to the
HDMI OUT MAIN jack connection, a digital optical cable
connection between the digital audio out optical jack of
the TV and the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL jack of the unit or an
analog audio cable connection between the audio output
jack of the TV and the TV/CD analog audio input jack of the
unit.
To use the ARC function, connect to the ARC
compatible HDMI jack of the TV and make an
appropriate setting on the unit. See "2nd Step :
Source Connection" of "Step 2: Setting Up".

unit several times to display "SUB" or "MAIN+SUB" and
select the output method. You can also enjoy using Zone
function with the HDMI OUT ZONE 2 jack. For details, see
3
the section 6 "Using the multi-zone function" of "Step 3:
PUSHPUSH
Playing Back".
The unit supports the HDMI Through function that allows
transmission from players to the TV even if the unit is in
standby. You have to modify the settings to enable the
input selection link with CEC compliant device, connection
with ARC compatible TV, and HDMI Through function. See
the section 2 "2nd Step : Source Connection" of "Step 2:
Setting Up".
r To enjoy HDCP2.2 protected video, connect the player to
the IN3 jack and the TV to the HDMI OUT MAIN jack of
the unit. Your player and TV need to support HDCP2.2.
r To play 4K or 1080p video, use the high speed HDMI
cable.
r It is possible to send video and audio of an MHL-enabled
mobile device by connecting the MHL-enabled mobile
device to the AUX INPUT HDMI/MHL jacks on the front
panel.
Connecting Components without HDMI
If your AV component does not have HDMI jack, use an
available jack of your component for cable connection with
this unit. Just as the HDMI jacks, other jacks on this unit
have a preassigned input selector button on the front panel.
See the name of the input selector button shown with the
jack when connecting the device.

To enjoy multi-zone playback of audio of a CD player
or such other player without HDMI output jack, you
need to use the analog audio cable to connect the
corresponding jacks of the player and this unit. For
details on the multi-zone function, see the section 6
"Using the multi-zone function" of "Step 3: Playing
Back".
Analog audio (RCA) cable
Balanced connection: Use an XLR balanced cable for
3
connection with a player. An XLR balanced cable, which
is less affected by noise when extended over a long
distance, is suitable for long-distance transmission.
¼
Refer to the position indication for connection beside the BALANCE
INPUT jack.

You have to make an appropriate setting to play audio of the device
connected to this jack. For more information, see the Advanced
Manual.

Video signals input to the composite video input jack,
the COMPONENT VIDEO input jack, or the PC IN
port will be upconverted to HDMI signals and then
output from the HDMI output jack. Note that it is
not possible to convert digital audio input signals to
analog or vice versa.

cartridge and does not have a built-in audio equalizer,
connect it to the 4 PHONO jack. If the connected
turntable has a built-in audio equalizer, connect it to the
TV/CD jack.

¼
If it uses an MC type cartridge, install an audio equalizer compatible
with MC type cartridge between the unit and the turntable by
connecting it to the 2 TV/CD jack. For details, refer to the turntable's
instruction manual.
¼
If the turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the GND terminal of
this unit. If connecting the ground wire increases noise, disconnect it.
Video signal connection
The unit has a video upconversion function. For details, see
the next section.

If multiple video signal inputs are put into one input
system, the output will be made in the order of HDMI,
component video, and composite video.
