HDMI appears on the front panel when an HDMIequipped component is connected. 2 Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI OUT interconnect on this receiver to an HDMI interconnect on a HDMI-compatible monitor.2 • The arrow on the cable connector body should be facing right for correct alignment with the connector on the player. 3 Use the INPUT SELECT button to select HDMI 1 or 2 (depending on which input you've connected to). You can also use the front panel INPUT SELECTOR dial. • Set the HDMI parameter in Setting the AV options on page 64 to THROUGH if you want to hear HDMI audio output from your TV or plasma display (no sound will be heard from this receiver). • If the video signal does not appear on your TV or plasma display, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or display. Note that some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be converted. In this case, use an (analog) S-video or composite connection. • You can't hear HDMI audio through this receiver's digital out jacks. About HDMI HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD players, DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI was developed to provide the technologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted and received by DVI-compliant displays. HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals), one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs. HDMI, the logo and High-Definition Multi- media Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI licensing LLC. 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. • This unit has been designed to be compliant with HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) Version 1.1. Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers. Also, when using a component with HDMI version 1.0, it is not possible to output copy-controlled DVD-Audio CPPM sources from the HDMI connection. • SACD playback is not possible when using the HDMI connection. 2 To see this receiver's on-screen display, monitors (or projectors) must be compatible with 480i resolution digital video. 48 En
