Additional information 13 Important information regarding the HDMI connection There are cases where you may not be able to route HDMI signals through this receiver (this depends on the HDMI-equipped component you are connecting-check with the manufacturer for HDMI compatibility information). If you aren't receiving HDMI signals properly through this receiver (from your component), please try one of the following configurations when connecting up. Configuration A Use component video cables to connect the video output of your HDMI-equipped component to the receiver's component video input. The receiver can then convert the analog component video signal to a digital HDMI signal for transmission to the display. For this configuration, use the most convenient connection (digital is recommended) for sending audio to the receiver. See the operating instructions for more on audio connections. Note ! The picture quality will change slightly during conversion. Configuration B Connect your HDMI-equipped component directly to the display using an HDMI cable. Then use the most convenient connection (digital is recommended) for sending audio to the receiver. See the operating instructions for more on audio connections. Set the display volume to minimum when using this configuration. Note ! If your display only has one HDMI terminal, you can only receive HDMI video from the connected component. ! Depending on the component, audio output may be limited to the number of channels available from the connected display unit (for example audio output is reduced to 2 channels for a monitor with stereo audio limitations). ! If you want to switch the input function, you'll have to switch functions on both the receiver and your display unit. ! Since the sound is muted on the display when using the HDMI connection, you must adjust the volume on the display every time you switch input functions. Surround sound formats Below is a brief description of the main surround sound formats you'll find on BDs, DVDs, satellite, cable and terrestrial broadcasts, and video cassettes. Dolby The Dolby technologies are explained below. See http://www.dolby.com for more detailed information. Cleaning the unit ! Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. ! When the surface is dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water, and wrung out well, and then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleansers. ! Never use thinners, benzene, insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the surface.
