About Hdmi - Pioneer VSX-818V-K Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting up
1 Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI
IN 1/2 interconnect on this receiver to an
HDMI output on your HDMI component.
2 Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI
OUT interconnect on this receiver to an HDMI
interconnect on a HDMI-compatible monitor.
• The arrow on the cable connector body
should be facing left for correct alignment
with the connector on the player.
3 VSX-818V model only: To hear audio from
your HDMI component through this system,
make analog and/or digital connections as
necessary.
On the rear panel, you must connect to the
audio jacks from a set of audio/video inputs
(for example, DVR/VCR as shown in the
illustration).
• Without this connection, HDMI audio will
still be output from your TV or flat screen TV
(though no sound will be heard from this
receiver).
4 Assign the HDMI input(s) you connected
to the corresponding input source.
After connecting, you must specify which
input(s) you are using for your HDMI
component in Assigning the HDMI inputs on
page 65.
5 Use the input source buttons to select
the input source you assigned in the
previous step, then press SIGNAL SEL
(SIGNAL SELECT) after press RECEIVER
button to select the audio input signal.
You can also use the front panel controls to do
this (see Choosing the input signal on page 36).
• VSX-918V model only: Set the HDMI
parameter in Setting the AV options on
page 35 to THRU (THROUGH) if you want
to hear HDMI audio output from your TV or
flat screen TV (no sound will be heard from
this receiver).
• If the video signal does not appear on your
TV or flat screen TV, 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 a (analog) composite
connection.
• The signals input from the analog
(composite and component) video inputs
of this unit will not be output from the
HDMI OUT.

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.
