[25] Preparation 3. Connecting a TV

Connecting a 4K TV

All HDMI jacks on the receiver support 4K resolution and HDCP 2.2 (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System Revision 2.2). HDCP 2.2 is newly enhanced copyright protection technology that is used to protect content such as 4K movies.

To watch HDCP 2.2 protected content such as 4K content, connect the HDMI jacks to jacks that

support HDCP 2.2 on the TV and AV device. For details on whether the TV and AV device are equipped with HDCP 2.2-compatible HDMI jack, refer to the operating instructions of the connected device. When you use high bandwidth video formats such as 4K/60p 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4K/60p 4:2:0 10 bit, etc., be sure to set the HDMI signal format. For details, see “Setting HDMI signal formats (HDMI Signal Format).”
