Connecting Your Tv And Playback Components - Pioneer VSX-1121-K Operating Instructions Manual

! If you connect a component that
is not compatible with HDCP, an
HDCP ERROR message is displayed on the
front panel display. Some components that
are compatible with HDCP still cause this
message to be displayed, but so long as there
is no problem with displaying video this is not
a malfunction.
! Depending on the component you have
connected, using a DVI connection may result
in unreliable signal transfers.
! This receiver supports SACD, Dolby Digital
Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master
Audio. To take advantage of these formats,
however, make sure that the component
connected to this receiver also supports the
corresponding format.
! Use a High Speed HDMI ® cable. If an HDMI
®
cable other than a High Speed HDMI cable is
used, it may not work properly.
! When an HDMI cable with a built-in equalizer
is connected, it may not operate properly.
! Signal transfer is only possible when
connected to a compatible component.
! HDMI format digital audio transmissions
require a longer time to be recognized. Due to
this, interruption in the audio may occur when
switching between audio formats or beginning
playback.
! Turning on/off the device connected to this
unit's HDMI OUT terminal during playback,
or disconnecting/connecting the HDMI
cable during playback, may cause noise or
interrupted audio.

can connect it to this receiver using a commercially available HDMI cable.
If the TV and playback components support the Control with HDMI feature, the convenient Control
with HDMI functions can be used (see Control with HDMI function on page 45 ).

EXTENSION
! For input components, connections other than HDMI connections are also possible (see
Connecting your DVD player with no HDMI output on page 18 ).
! If you want to listen to the sound of the TV over the receiver, connect the receiver and TV with audio
cables.
— When the TV and receiver are connected by HDMI connections, if the TV supports the HDMI ARC
(Audio Return Channel) function, the sound of the TV is input to the receiver via the HDMI OUT
terminal, so there is no need to connect an audio cable. In this case, set TV Audio at HDMI Setup
to via HDMI (see HDMI Setup on page 45 ).
