About HDMI

Compatible functions

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a digital interface standard for
connecting TVs, projectors, Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, set-top boxes, and other
video components. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been
required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can carry control
signals, digital video and digital audio (2 ch PCM, multichannel digital audio, and
multichannel PCM).

HDMI CEC functionality:
By connecting devices and HDMI cables that comply with the CEC (Consumer
Electronics Control) specification of the HDMI standard, a variety of linked
operation become possible between devices. You can enjoy features such as
linking input switching with the input selector and players, control volume using the
remote controller of the TV, and automatically switching this unit to standby when
the TV is turned off.
The unit is designed to link with products that comply with the CEC standard, and
that linked operation is not always guaranteed with all CEC devices. For linked
functions to work properly, do not connect more CEC-compliant components than
the quantities specified below, to the HDMI jack.

Blu-ray Disc/DVD players: up to 3 units.
Blu-ray Disc/DVD recorders: up to 3 units.
Cable TV tuner, terrestrial digital tuner, and satellite broadcasting tuner: up to 4
units.

Operation has been confirmed on the following devices: (As of May 2017)
Toshiba brand televisions; Sharp brand televisions; Toshiba brand players and
recorders; Sharp brand players and recorders (when used with a Sharp brand
television)

ARC（Audio Return Channel）:
By connection a TV that supports ARC with a single HDMI cable, you can not only
output the audio and video from this unit to the TV, but also input the audio from
the TV to this unit.

HDMI Standby Through:
Even if this unit is in standby, the input signals from AV components are
transmitted to the TV.

Deep Color:
By connecting devices supporting Deep Color, video signals input from the
devices can be reproduced on the TV with even more colors.

Specifications

x.v.Color™:
This technology realizes even more realistic colors by broadening the color gamut.

3D:
You can transmit 3D video signals from AV components to the TV.

4K:
This unit supports 4K (3840×2160p) and 4K SMPTE (4096×2160p) video signals.

LipSync:
This setting automatically corrects any desynchronization between the video and
audio signals based on data from the HDMI LipSync compatible TV.

Copyright Protection:
The unit supports Revision 1.4 and Revision 2.2 of the HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection), a copy-protection system for digital video signals.
Other devices connected to the unit must also support HDCP.

Supported Audio Formats

2 ch linear PCM:
