Settings When using a TV compatible with Dolby Digital Plus output The receiver can receive Dolby Atmos signals sent from a TV or other connected devices. Since Dolby Atmos signals from the TV are sent in Dolby Digital Plus format, ARC (Audio Return Channel)-compatible HDMI jacks must be connected using an HDMI cable instead of an optical digital cable. Normally, it would be necessary to turn on the Control for HDMI function for both receiver and TV in order to use the Audio Return Channel (ARC). In this case, however, the link function between the receiver, TV and other devices is also activated. Therefore, in order to facilitate the operation of the controller in a custom installation (where the entire system is controlled via the controller), this receiver is designed to activate the ARC function separately, even if the Control for HDMI function is turned off. As a result, Dolby Atmos-compatible content sent from the TV can be played back through an ARC-compatible HDMI jack, without the need to activate the link function using the Control for HDMI function. Since the ARC function can still be used as before, Dolby Atmos-compatible content can be played back in high quality, even if the Control for HDMI function for the TV or connected devices is turned on. If you use a TV compatible with Dolby Digital Plus output, perform the following settings on the receiver in order to play back Dolby Atmos-compatible content sent from the TV. 1 Turn on the Control for HDMI function on the TV. The ARC output from the TV will be enabled. 2 Set the Dolby Digital Plus output of the TV to enable it. Dolby Atmos output from the TV will be enabled. 3 Select [Setup] - [HDMI Setup] - [Audio Return Channel] - [Standard] on the receiver. ARC signals from the TV can now be received. 4 Select [Setup] - [Input Setup] - [Input Mode] - [Auto] on the receiver. 5 Press HDMI OUT to select [HDMI OUT A]. 6 Turn off the Control for HDMI function for all devices connected to the receiver except the TV. 7 Turn off any settings for the operation of other devices on the TV's remote control. 8 Switch the input of the receiver to [TV]. Configuring the receiver to allow a Crestron Control System to control the receiver This receiver is certified as Crestron Connected. You can therefore allow a Crestron Control System to control the receiver collectively as part of a home automation system by configuring the receiver as follows.
