Connecting up 03 English Deutsch Français Italiano Nederlands Español 1 Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI IN 1/2 interconnect on this receiver to an HDMI output on your HDMI component. 2 Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI OUT interconnect on this receiver to an HDMI interconnect on a HDMI-compatible monitor. • The arrow on the cable connector body should be facing left for correct alignment with the connector on the player. • If the video signal does not appear on your TV or flat panel TV, 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 displayed. In this case, use a (analog) composite connection. • The signals input from the analog (composite and component) video inputs of this unit will not be output from the HDMI OUT. 3 VSX-818V model only: To hear audio from your HDMI component through this system, make analog and/or digital connections as necessary. On the rear panel, you must connect to the audio jacks from a set of audio/video inputs (for example, DVR/VCR as shown in the illustration). • Without this connection, HDMI audio will still be output from your TV or flat panel TV (though no sound will be heard from this receiver). 4 Assign the HDMI input(s) you connected to the corresponding input source. After connecting, you must specify which input(s) you are using for your HDMI component in Assigning the HDMI inputs on page 65. 5 Use the input source buttons to select the input source you assigned in the previous step, then press SIGNAL SEL (SIGNAL SELECT) after press RECEIVER button to select the audio input signal. You can also use the front panel controls to do this (see Choosing the input signal on page 36). • VSX-918V model only: Set the HDMI parameter in Setting the AV options on page 35 to THRU (THROUGH) if you want to hear HDMI audio output from your TV or flat panel TV (no sound will be heard from this receiver). 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.
