When a TV supporting the HDMI Audio Return Channel
function is connected to the receiver, the sound of the TV can
be input via the HDMI terminal.
• ON – The TV’s sound is input via the HDMI terminal. This
can only be selected when
Control is set to ON.
• OFF – The TV’s sound is input from the audio input
terminals other than HDMI inputs.

You return to the Home Menu.
Before using synchronization
Once you have finished all connections and settings, you
must:
1 Put all components into standby mode.
2 Turn the power on for all components, with the power
for the TV being turned on last.
3 Choose the HDMI input to which the TV is connected to
this receiver, and see if video output from connected
components displays properly on the screen or not.
4 Check whether the components connected to all HDMI
inputs are properly displayed.
About synchronized operations
The Control with HDMI-compatible component connected to
the receiver operates in sync as described below.
• Synchronized amp mode
- From the menu screen of the Control with HDMI-
compatible TV, set audio to be played through this
receiver, and the receiver will switch to the synchronized
amp mode.
- When in the synchronized amp mode, the synchronized
amp mode is canceled when the receiver’s power is
turned off. To turn the synchronized amp mode back on,
set audio to be played through the receiver from the TV’s
menu screen, etc. This receiver will power up and switch
to the synchronized amp mode.
- When in the synchronized amp mode, the synchronized
amp mode is canceled if an operation that produces
sound from the TV is performed from the TV’s menu
screen, etc.
- When the synchronized amp mode is canceled, the
receiver’s power turns off if you were viewing an HDMI
input or a TV program on the TV.
• Power synchronization with TV
- When the TV’s power is set to standby, the receiver’s
power is also set to standby. (Only when the input for a
component connected to the receiver by HDMI
connection is selected or when watching the TV.)
• Automatic switching of inputs
- The receiver’s input switches automatically when the
Control with HDMI-compatible component is played.
- The receiver’s input switches automatically when the
TV’s input is switched.
- The synchronized amp mode remains in effect even if
the receiver’s input is switched to a component other
than one connected by HDMI.
About connections with a product of a different
brand that supports the Control with HDMI
function
The synchronized operations below can be used when the
receiver’s
Control with HDMI function is connected to a TV
of a brand other than Pioneer that supports the Control with
HDMI function. (Depending on the TV, however, some of the
Control with HDMI functions may not work.)
• When the TV’s power is set to standby, the receiver’s
power is also set to standby. (Only when the input for a
component connected to the receiver by HDMI
connection is selected or when watching the TV)
• The sound of TV programs or an external input connected
to the TV can also be output from the speakers connected
to the receiver. (If the TV does not support the HDMI
Audio Return Channel function, this requires connection
of an optical digital cable, etc., in addition to the HDMI
cable.)
The synchronized operations below can be used when the
receiver’s
Control with HDMI function is connected to a
player or recorder of a brand other than Pioneer that supports
the
Control with HDMI function.
• When playback starts on the player or recorder, the
receiver’s input switches to the HDMI input to which that
component is connected.
See the Pioneer website for the latest information on the
models of non-Pioneer brands and products that support the
Control with HDMI function.
Cautions on the Control with HDMI function
• Connect the TV and components (Blu-ray Disc player,
etc.) directly to this receiver. Interrupting a direct
connection with other amps or an AV converter (such as
an HDMI switch) can cause operational errors.
• When the receiver’s Control is turned ON, even if the
receiver’s power is in the standby mode, it is possible to
output the audio and video signals from a player via HDMI
to the TV without producing sound from the receiver, but
only when a
Control with HDMI-compatible component
(Blu-ray Disc player, etc.) and compatible TV are
connected. In this case, the receiver’s power turns on and
the power and
HDMI indicators light.
