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 plasma
display (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
inputs(s) you are using for your HDMI
component in Assigning the HDMI inputs on
page 62.
5 Use the input source buttons to select the
input source you assigned in the previous step,
then press SIGNAL SEL 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 33).
• 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 displayed. In this case, use an
(analog) S-video or composite connection.
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.

listening options with this setup.
1 Connect a pair of speakers to the
surround back speaker terminals on the rear

System’ menu.
See Surround back speaker setting on page 36

Switching the speaker system
If you selected Second Zone in Surround back

system settings are possible using the
SPEAKERS button. If you selected Normal (SB)

Front Bi-Amp, the speaker system is fixed
as SP A or SPAB (respectively). The options
below are for the Second Zone setting only. 1

no sound is heard from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed).
