Note:
1 • An HDMI connection can only be made with DVI-equipped components compatible with both DVI and High Bandwidth Digital Content
Protection (HDCP). If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you will need a separate adaptor (DVI → HDMI) to do so.
A DVI connection, however, does not support audio signals. Consult your local audio dealer for more information.
• This unit has been designed to be compliant with HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) Version 1.1.
Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers. Also, when using
a component with HDMI version 1.0, it is not possible to output copy-controlled DVD-Audio CPPM sources from the HDMI connection.
• SACD playback is not possible when using the HDMI connection.
2 To see this receiver's on-screen display, monitors (or projectors) must be compatible with 480i resolution digital video.

Remedy
Check all the points below.
• This receiver is HDCP-compatible. Check that the components you are connecting are also HDCP-
compatible. If they are not, please connect them using the component, S-video or composite video jacks.
• Depending on the connected source component, itís possible that it will not work with this receiver (even
if it is HDCP-compatible).
• If the problem still persists when connecting your HDMI component directly to your monitor, please
consult the component or monitor manual or contact the manufacturer for support.
• If your display device is not SD (480i) compatible then neither the setup screens or the 480i to HDMI
converted video will be displayed. In this case, connect using the component, S-video or composite video
jacks.
• Depending in the output settings of the source component, it may be outputting a video format that can't
be displayed. Change the output settings of the source, or connect using the component, S-video or
composite jacks.
• Check that the HDMI AV setting is set to AMP/THROUGH.
• If the component is a DVI device, use a separate connection for the audio.
• If analog video is being output over HDMI then there will be no HDMI audio output. Please use a separate
connection for the audio.
• Check the audio output settings of the source component.
