• The HDMI jack connections have priority when you connect different components to the stand using the INPUT
OPT/INPUT COAX and HDMI jacks.
Tip
• Even if the stand is turned off (active standby mode), the HDMI signal will be sent from the connected component
to the TV via the HDMI connection. You can enjoy image and sound from the component on the TV.
Notes on HDMI connections
• Use a High Speed HDMI cable. If you use a Standard HDMI cable, 1080p, Deep Colour, or 3D
images may not be displayed properly.
• We recommend that you use an HDMI-authorized cable.
• Check the setup of the connected component if an image is poor or the sound does not come out of a
component connected via the HDMI cable.
• Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack may be
suppressed by the connected component.
• Sound may be interrupted when the sampling frequency or the number of channels of audio output
signals from the playback component is switched.
• When the connected component is not compatible with copyright protection technology (HDCP), the
image and/or the sound from the HDMI TV OUT jack may be distorted or may not be output.
In this case, check the specification of the connected component.
• We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable.
• When “TV,” “FM,” “DMPORT” or “AUDIO” is selected for the input source of the stand, video
signals via the HDMI input jack (BD, DVD, SAT/CATV) that was selected last time are output from
the HDMI TV OUT jack.
• This system supports Deep Colour, “x.v.Colour,” and 3D transmission.
• To enjoy 3D images, connect 3D-compatible TV and video components (Blu-ray Disc player, Blu-
ray Disc recorder, “PlayStation 3,” etc.) to the system using High Speed HDMI cables, put on 3D
glasses, and then play back 3D-compatible content.
