Control with HDMI function 08 Control with HDMI function 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 connected 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. ! The Control 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.
