Connecting using HDMI
If you have an HDMI or DVI (with HDCP) equipped
component, you can connect it to this receiver using a
commercially available HDMI cable.
The HDMI connection transfers uncompressed digital
video, as well as almost every kind of digital audio that the
connected component is compatible with, including
DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, SACD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby
TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio (see below for
limitations), Video CD/Super VCD, CD and MP3. See
About the video converter on page 12 for more on HDMI
compatibility.

Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI IN 1/2
interconnect on this receiver to an HDMI output on
your HDMI component.
HDMI appears on the front panel when an HDMI-
equipped component is connected.
Note
1 • An HDMI connection can only be made with DVI-equipped components compatible with both DVI and High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP). If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you will need a separate adaptor (DVI
audio signals. Consult your local audio dealer for more information.
• If you connect a component that is not compatible with HDCP, a "HDCP ERROR" message is displayed on the front panel display. Some components
that are compatible with HDCP still cause this message to be displayed, but so long as there is no problem with displaying video this is not a malfunction.
• This unit has been designed to be compliant with HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) Version 1.3a. Depending on the component you have
connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers. Also, when using a component with HDMI version 1.0, it is not possible to
output copy-controlled DVD-Audio CPPM sources from the HDMI connection.
• This receiver does not support the DeepColor feature of HDMI.
• This receiver supports SACD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. To take advantage of these formats, however, make sure
that the component connected to this receiver also supports the corresponding format.

you've connected to).
You can also use the front panel controls.
• Set the HDMI parameter in Setting the AV options on
page 58 to THROUGH if you want to hear HDMI
audio output from your TV or plasma display (no
sound will be heard from this receiver).
• If the video signal does not appear on your TV or
plasma display, try adjusting the resolution settings
on your component or display. Note that some
components (such as video game units) have
resolutions that may not be displayed. In this case,
use an (analog) S-video or composite connection.
• You can't hear HDMI audio through this receiver's
digital out jacks.
About HDMI
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports
both video and audio on a single digital connection for
use with DVD players, DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV
devices. HDMI was developed to provide the
technologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content
Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface
(DVI) in one specification. HDCP is used to protect digital
content transmitted and received by DVI-compliant
displays.
HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced,
or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel
surround-sound audio. HDMI features include
uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2
gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals), one connector
(instead of several cables and connectors), and
communication between the AV source and AV devices
such as DTVs.
