Connections • DSD signals of Super Audio CD are not input and output. • Be sure to turn the receiver on when the video and audio signals of a playback equipment are being output to a TV via the receiver. If you set the "PASS.THRU" to "OFF", video and audio signals will not be transmitted when the power is turned off. • Audio signals (format, sampling frequency, bit length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack may be suppressed by the connected equipment. Check the setup of the connected equipment if the image is poor or the sound does not come out of a equipment connected via the HDMI cable. • Sound may be interrupted when the sampling frequency, the number of channels or audio format of audio output signals from the playback equipment is switched. • When the connected equipment is not compatible with copyright protection technology (HDCP), the image and/or the sound from the HDMI TV OUT jack may be distorted or may be lost. If this is the case, check the specification of the connected equipment. • You can enjoy High Bitrate Audio (DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD), Multi Channel Linear PCM only with an HDMI connection. • Set the image resolution of the playback equipment to more than 720p/1080i to enjoy High Bitrate Audio (DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD). • The image resolution of the playback equipment may need to be at certain settings before you can enjoy Multi Channel Linear PCM. Refer to the operating instructions of the playback equipment. • To enjoy 3D images, connect 3D-compatible TV and video equipment (Blu-ray Disc player, Blu-ray Disc recorder, PlayStation 3, etc.) to the receiver using High Speed HDMI cables, put on 3D glasses, and then play back a 3D-compatible content. • Depending on the TV or the video equipment, 3D images may not be displayed. • Not every HDMI equipment supports all functions that are defined by the specific HDMI version. For example, equipment that support HDMI, version 1.4, may not support Audio Return Channel (ARC). • Refer to the operating instructions of each connected equipment for details. When connecting cords • Before connecting cords, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead). • It is not necessary to connect all the cords. Connect according to the availability of jacks on the connected equipment. • Use a High Speed HDMI cable. If you use a Standard HDMI cable, 1080p, Deep Color (Deep Colour) or 3D images may not be displayed properly. • We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable. When you connect an HDMI-DVI conversion cable to a DVI-D equipment, the sound and/or the image may be lost. Connect a separate audio cords or digital connecting cords, then set the "A. ASSIGN" in AUDIO menu (page 51) when the sound is not output correctly. • When connecting optical digital cords, insert the plugs straight until they click into place. • Do not bend or tie optical digital cords. Tip All the digital audio jacks are compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz sampling frequencies. If you want to connect several digital equipment, but cannot find an unused input See "Using the sound/images from other inputs" (page 51). 23GB
