03 Connecting your equipment About HDMI1 The HDMI connection transfers uncompressed digital video, as well as almost every kind of digital audio that the connected component is compatible with, including DVDVideo, DVD-Audio, SACD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio (see below for limitations), Video CD/Super VCD and CD. See About the video converter on page 22 for more on HDMI compatibility. This receiver incorporates High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI®) technology. This receiver supports the functions described below through HDMI connections.2 • Digital transfer of uncompressed video (contents protected by HDCP (1080p/24, 1080p/60, etc.)) • 3D signal transfer3 • Deep Color signal transfer3 • x.v.Color signal transfer3 • Input of multi-channel linear PCM digital audio signals (192 kHz or less) for up to 8 channels • Input of the following digital audio formats:4 - Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, High bitrate audio (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio), DVD-Audio, CD, SACD (DSD signal), Video CD, Super VCD • Synchronized operation with components using the Control with HDMI function (see Control with HDMI function on page 62) HDMI, the HDMI Logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing, LLC in the United States and other countries. "x.v.Color" and x.v.Color logo are trademarks of Sony Corporation. Note 1 • An HDMI connection can only be made with DVI-equipped components compatible with both DVI and High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you will need a separate adaptor (DVIHDMI) to do so. A DVI connection, however, does not support audio signals. Consult your local audio dealer for more information. • If you connect a component that is not compatible with HDCP, an HDCP ERROR message is displayed on the front panel display. Some components that are compatible with HDCP still cause this message to be displayed, but so long as there is no problem with displaying video this is not a malfunction. • Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers. • This receiver supports SACD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. To take advantage of these formats, however, make sure that the component connected to this receiver also supports the corresponding format. 2 • Use a High Speed HDMI® cable. If HDMI cable other than a High Speed HDMI® cable is used, it may not work properly. • When an HDMI cable with a built-in equalizer is connected, it may not operate properly. 3 Signal transfer is only possible when connected to a compatible component. 4 • HDMI format digital audio transmissions require a longer time to be recognized. Due to this, interruption in the audio may occur when switching between audio formats or beginning playback. • Turning on/off the device connected to this unit's HDMI OUT terminal during playback, or disconnecting/ connecting the HDMI cable during playback, may cause noise or interrupted audio. 24 En

Note

1 • An HDMI connection can only be made with DVI-equipped components compatible with both DVI and High

Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you will need a separate

adaptor (DVI



HDMI) to do so. A DVI connection, however, does not support audio signals. Consult your local audio

dealer for more information.

• If you connect a component that is not compatible with HDCP, an

HDCP ERROR

message is displayed on the front

panel display. Some components that are compatible with HDCP still cause this message to be displayed, but so long

as there is no problem with displaying video this is not a malfunction.

• Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers.

•

This receiver supports SACD,

Dolby Digital Plus

Dolby TrueHD

and

DTS-HD Master Audio

. To take advantage of

these formats, however, make sure that the component connected to this receiver also supports the corresponding

format.

2 • Use a High Speed HDMI

cable. If HDMI cable other than a High Speed HDMI

cable is used, it may not work

properly.

• When an HDMI cable with a built-in equalizer is connected, it may not operate properly.

3 Signal transfer is only possible when connected to a compatible component.

4 • HDMI format digital audio transmissions require a longer time to be recognized. Due to this, interruption in the

audio may occur when switching between audio formats or beginning playback.

• Turning on/off the device connected to this unit's HDMI OUT terminal during playback, or disconnecting/

connecting the HDMI cable during playback, may cause noise or interrupted audio.
