Control with HDMI
function
Synchronized operations below with a Control with HDMI-
compatible Pioneer TV or Blu-ray Disc player or with a component
of another make that supports the Control with HDMI functions
are possible when the component is connected to the receiver
using an HDMI cable.
• Synchronized amp mode
The receiver's volume can be set and the sound can be muted
using the TV's remote control.
• Power synchronization with TV
• Automatic switching of inputs
The receiver's input switches over automatically when the TV's
input is changed or a Control with HDMI-compatible
component is played.
Important
• With Pioneer devices, the Control with HDMI functions are
referred to as "KURO LINK".
• You cannot use this function with components that do not
support Control with HDMI.
• We only guarantee this receiver will work with Pioneer made
Control with HDMI-compatible components and components
of other makes that support the Control with HDMI function.
However, we do not guarantee that all synchronized
operations will work with components of other makes that
support the Control with HDMI function.
®
• Use a High Speed HDMI cable when you want to use the
Control with HDMI function. The Control with HDMI function
may not work properly if a different type of HDMI cable is used.
• For details about concrete operations, settings, etc., refer to
also the operating instructions for each component.

Making Control with HDMI connections

You can use synchronized operation for a connected TV and up to
four other components.
• Be sure to connect the TV's audio cable to the audio input of
this unit. When the TV and receiver are connected by HDMI
connections, if the TV supports the HDMI Audio Return
Channel function, the sound of the TV is input to the receiver
via the HDMI terminal, so there is no need to connect an audio
cable. In this case, set ARC at HDMI Setup to ON (see HDMI
Setup below).
For details, see Connecting using HDMI on page 14.
Important
• When connecting this system or changing connections, be
sure to switch the power off and disconnect the power cord
from the wall socket.
After completing all connections, connect the power cords to
the wall socket.
• After this receiver is connected to an AC outlet, a 2 second to
10 second HDMI initialization process begins. You cannot
carry out any operations during initialization. The HDMI
indicator on the display unit blinks during initialization, and
you can turn this receiver on once it has stopped blinking.
• To get the most out of this function, we recommend that you
connect your HDMI component not to a TV but rather directly
to the HDMI terminal on this receiver.
• While the receiver is equipped with four HDMI inputs, the
Control with HDMI function can only be used with up to three
DVD or Blu-ray Disc players or up to three DVD or Blu-ray Disc
recorders.
