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.
