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 are pos-

sible 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. However,

we do not guarantee that all synchronized operations will work with components that support the

Control

with

HDMI function.

!

Use a High Speed HDMI

®

/

TM

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 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

ARC

at

HDMI Setup

to

ON

(see

HDMI Setup

on

page 66

).

For details, see

Connecting your TV and playback components

on

page 28

.

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 65

.

!

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.
