About synchronized operations

The

Control

with HDMI-compatible component connected to

the receiver operates in sync as described below.

• Synchronized amp mode

-

From the menu screen of the

Control

with HDMI-

compatible TV, set audio to be played through this

receiver, and the receiver will switch to the synchronized

amp mode.

-

When in the synchronized amp mode, the synchronized

amp mode is canceled when the receiver’s power is

turned off. To turn the synchronized amp mode back on,

set audio to be played through the receiver from the TV’s

menu screen, etc. This receiver will power up and switch

to the synchronized amp mode.

-

When in the synchronized amp mode, the synchronized

amp mode is canceled if an operation that produces

sound from the TV is performed from the TV’s menu

screen, etc.

-

When the synchronized amp mode is canceled, the

receiver’s power turns off if you were viewing an HDMI

input or a TV program on the TV.

• Power synchronization with TV

-

When the TV’s power is set to standby, the receiver’s

power is also set to standby. (Only when the input for a

component connected to the receiver by HDMI

connection is selected or when watching the TV.)

• Automatic switching of inputs

-

The receiver’s input switches automatically when the

Control

with HDMI-compatible component is played.

-

The receiver’s input switches automatically when the

TV’s input is switched.

-

The synchronized amp mode remains in effect even if

the receiver’s input is switched to a component other

than one connected by HDMI.

About connections with a product of a different

brand that supports the Control with HDMI

function

The synchronized operations below can be used when the

receiver’s

Control

with HDMI function is connected to a TV

of a brand other than Pioneer that supports the

Control

with

HDMI function. (Depending on the TV, however, some of the

Control

with HDMI functions may not work.)

• When the TV’s power is set to standby, the receiver’s

power is also set to standby. (Only when the input for a

component connected to the receiver by HDMI

connection is selected or when watching the TV)

• The sound of TV programs or an external input connected

to the TV can also be output from the speakers connected

to the receiver. (If the TV does not support the HDMI

Audio Return Channel function, this requires connection

of an optical digital cable, etc., in addition to the HDMI

cable.)

The synchronized operations below can be used when the

receiver’s

Control

with HDMI function is connected to a

player or recorder of a brand other than Pioneer that

supports the

Control

with HDMI function.

• When playback starts on the player or recorder, the

receiver’s input switches to the HDMI input to which that

component is connected.

See the Pioneer website for the latest information on the

models of non-Pioneer brands and products that support the

Control

with HDMI function.

Cautions on the Control with HDMI function

• Connect the TV and components (Blu-ray Disc player,

etc.) directly to this receiver. Interrupting a direct

connection with other amps or an AV converter (such as

an HDMI switch) can cause operational errors.

• When the receiver’s

Control

is turned

ON

, even if the

receiver’s power is in the standby mode, it is possible to

output the audio and video signals from a player via HDMI

to the TV without producing sound from the receiver, but

only when a

Control

with HDMI-compatible component

(Blu-ray Disc player, etc.) and compatible TV are

connected. In this case, the receiver’s power turns on and

the power and

HDMI

indicators light.
