• If HDMI Control does not work properly, try unplugging the TV in Step 2 and plugging in the TV again in Step 3.
It may solve the problem. Also, HDMI Control may not work if the number of connected devices exceeds the
limit. In this case, disable HDMI Control on the devices not in use.
• If the unit is not synchronized to the TV's power operations, check the priority of the audio output setting on
the TV.
• We recommend using TV and playback devices from the same manufacturer so that HDMI Control works more
effectively.
• We do not assure the operation of all HDMI Control-compatible devices.

to the TV.
Check the following after the HDMI Control settings.

Check that the input source of the unit will be automatically switched to "AV
4" and the TV audio will be played back on the unit.
If you cannot hear the TV audio, check the following:
• "ARC" (p.118) in the "Setup" menu is set to "On".
• The HDMI cable is connected to the ARC-compatible HDMI jack (HDMI jack marked
"ARC") on the TV.
Some HDMI jack on the TV is not compatible with ARC. For details, refer to the instruction
manual for the TV.

• If the audio is interrupted while using ARC, set "ARC" (p.118) in the "Setup" menu to "Off" and use a digital
optical cable to input TV audio to the unit (p.35).
