▪ If HDMI Control does not work properly, the problem may be solved by turning the playback device off and
on again, or by unplugging the power plug and plugging it in again. Also, HDMI Control may not work
properly if the number of connected devices exceeds the limit. In this case, disable HDMI Control on
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.
