Notes on HDMI connections
• An audio signal input to the HOMI IN jack
is output from the SPEAKERS jacks and
HOMI OUT jack. It is not output from any
other audio jacks.
• Video signals input to the HDMI IN jack can
only be output from the HOMI OUT jack.
• The multi/stereo area audio signals of a
Super Audio CD are not output.
• Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit
length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMIjack
may be suppressed by the connected
component. Check the setup of the
connected component if the image is poor or
the sound does not come out of a component
connected via the HOMI cable.
• Sound may be interrupted when the
sampling frequency, the number of channels
or the audio format of the audio output
signals from the playback component is
switched.
• When the connected component is not
compatible with copyright protection
technology (HOCP), the image and/or the
sound from the HOMI OUT jack may be
distorted or may not be output.
In this case, check the specification of the
connected component.
• You can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM
only with an HOMI connection.
• Set the image resolution of the playback
component to 720p, 1080i or 1080p when
you output 96 kHz multi channel sound over
an HOMI connection.
• You may need to make certain settings on
the image resolution of the player before you
can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM. Refer
to the operating instructions of the player.
• Refer to the operating instructions of each
component connected for details.
• Not every HOMI component supports all
functions that are defined by the specified
HOMI version. For example, components
that support HOMI, version 1.4, may not
support Audio Return Channel (ARC).
