About HDMI
The HDMI connection transfers uncompressed
digital video, as well as almost every kind of
digital audio.
This receiver incorporates High-Definition
Multimedia Interface (HDMI
® ) technology.
This receiver supports the functions described
below through HDMI connections.
! Digital transfer of uncompressed video
(contents protected by HDCP (1080p/24,
1080p/60, etc.))
! 3D signal transfer
! Deep Color signal transfer
! x.v.Color signal transfer
! ARC (Audio Return Channel)
! Input of multi-channel linear PCM digital
audio signals (192 kHz or less) for up to 8
channels
! Input of the following digital audio formats:
— Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, High
bitrate audio (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master
Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio),
DVD-Audio, CD, SACD (DSD signal), Video
CD, Super VCD
! Synchronized operation with components
using the Control with HDMI function (see
Control with HDMI function on page 45 )
Note
! 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
dHDMI) to do so. A DVI
connection, however, does not support audio
signals. Consult your local audio dealer for
more information.

About the video converter
The video converter ensures that all video
sources are output through all of the MONITOR
VIDEO OUT jacks. The only exception is HDMI:
since this resolution cannot be downsampled,
you must connect your monitor/TV to the
receiver’s HDMI output when connecting this
video source.
If several video components are assigned to
the same input function (see The Input Setup
menu on page 27 ), the converter gives priority
to HDMI, component, then composite (in that
order).
