About the 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.

!

The receiver’s volume can be set and the

sound can be muted using the TV’s remote

control.

!

The receiver’s input switches over

automatically when the TV’s input is

changed or a

Control

with HDMI-compatible

component is played.

!

The receiver’s power is also set to standby,

when the TV’s power is set to standby.

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

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 con-

nected TV and up to 7 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 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 53 ).

For details, see

Connecting your TV and playback

components

on page 23 .

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 this process. The

HDMI

indicator in the front panel display

blinks during this process, and you can turn

on this receiver once it has stopped blinking.

When you set the

Control

with HDMI to

OFF

,

you can skip this process. For details about the

Control

with HDMI feature, see

Control with

HDMI function

on page 53 .

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.

with HDMI function can be used

with a TV connected to the

HDMI OUT 1

terminal, but not with a TV connected to the

HDMI OUT 2

terminal.
