HDMI setup is generally automatic. There
are however settings you can change if you
need to. See HDMI Output (only available
1
when an HDMI device is connected) on
page 148 for more information. Note that the
HDMI settings remain in effect until you
change them, or connect a new HDMI

Important
• An HDMI connection can only be made
with DVI-equipped components compat-
ible with both DVI and High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If you
choose to connect to a DVI connector,
you will need a DVI to HDMI adaptor
cable. A DVI to HDCP connection,
however, does not support audio.
Consult your local audio dealer for more
information.
• The HDMI connection is compatible with
32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 96 kHz, 16 bit/
20 bit/24 bit 2-channel linear PCM
signals, as well as Dolby Digital, DTS and
MPEG audio bitstream.
• If your connected component is only
compatible with Linear PCM, the signal
is output as Linear PCM (DTS audio is
not output).
• If you have connected to a Pioneer
plasma display, please select the HDMI
setup on the display (refer to the
supplied manual for more on this).
