Connecting Your Components-Continued Connecting Components with HDMI About HDMI Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital audio, or multichannel PCM). The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface),*1 so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and displays, resulting in no picture.) The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), so only HDCP-compatible components will display a picture. The AV receiver's HDMI interface is based on the following standard: TX-SR506: Pass-thru TX-SR576: Repeater System, Deep Color, Lip Sync, Dolby Digital Plus, and Multichannel PCM Supported Audio Formats • 2-channel linear PCM (16/20/24 bit/32-192kHz) • Multichannel linear PCM (7.1 ch, 32-192kHz) • Bitstream (Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS) Your DVD player must be able to output these formats from its HDMI OUT. About Copyright Protection The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection),*2 a copy-protection system for digital video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP. Use a commercially available HDMI cable (supplied with some components) to connect the AV receiver's HDMI OUT to the HDMI input on your TV or projector. *1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG*3 in 1999. *2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI.

Making HDMI Connections If you have an HDMI-compatible player, you can connect it to the AV receiver with an HDMI cable. Step 1: Connect your HDMI-compatible TV to the AV receiver's HDMI OUT jack. Step 2: Connect your HDMI-compatible player to the AV receiver's HDMI IN 1, 2, or 3 jack. Step 3: Connect your HDMI-compatible player to an analog and/or digital audio input on the AV receiver (TX-SR506 only). Step 4: Assign the HDMI IN. Turn on the AV receiver, and then assign the HDMI IN (see page 39). 28

About HDMI
Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital
interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now,
several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can
carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital
audio, or multichannel PCM).
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) 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. (This may not work with some TVs and
displays, resulting in no picture.)

display a picture.
Supported Audio Formats
•
2-channel linear PCM (16/20/24 bit/32–192kHz)
•
Multichannel linear PCM (7.1 ch, 32–192kHz)
•
Bitstream (Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS)
Your DVD player must be able to output these formats from its HDMI OUT.
