Connecting the AV controller—Continued
Making HDMI Connections
■ Video Signals
Digital video signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are normally output by the HDMI MAIN OUT and SUB OUT for
display on your TV. Composite video, S-Video, and component video sources can be upconverted for the HDMI output.
See “Video Connection Formats” on page 28 for more information.
■ Audio Signals
Digital audio signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are output by the speakers and headphones connected to the AV
controller. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI outputs, unless the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (see
page 108).
To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers:
•Set the “TV Control” setting to “On” (see page 109) for an -compatible TV.
•Set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” (see page 108) when the TV is not compatible with
or the “TV Control” setting to “Off”.
•Set your DVD/BD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.
Notes:
• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can
be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need
to make a separate connection for audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In
addition, video signals from a PC are not guaranteed.
• When listening to an HDMI component through the AV controller, set the HDMI component so that its video can be
seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV controller). If the
TV power is off or the TV is set to another input source, this may result in no sound from the AV controller or the
sound may be cut off.
• When the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (see page 108) to hear from your TV’s speakers, by controlling the
AV controller’s volume, the sound will be output from the AV controller’s speakers, too. When the
“TV Control”
setting is set to
“On” to hear from speakers of -compatible TV, by controlling the AV controller’s volume,
the AV controller’s speakers will produce sound while the TV’s speakers are muted. To stop the AV controller’s
speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your TV’s settings, or turn down the AV controller’s volume.
• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the
picture is poor or there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected
component’s instruction manual for details.
Step 1:
Use HDMI cables to connect the AV controller’s HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible DVD/BD player, TV,
projector, and so on.
Step 2:
Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector in the HDMI Input Setup (see page 49).
