Important information regarding the HDMI
connection

There are cases where you may not be able to route HDMI
signals through this receiver (this depends on the HDMI
equipped component you are connecting-check with the
manufacturer for HDMI compatibility information).
If you aren’t receiving HDMI signals properly through this
receiver (from your component), please try the following
configuration when connecting up.

Configuration
Connect your HDMI-equipped component directly to the
display using an HDMI cable. Then use the most convenient
connection (digital is recommended) for sending audio to the
receiver. See the operating instructions for more on audio
connections. Set the display volume to minimum when using
this configuration.

Note

• Depending on the component, audio output may be

limited to the number of channels available from the
connected display unit (for example audio output is
reduced to 2 channels for a monitor with stereo audio
limitations).

• If you want to switch the input source, you’ll have to

switch functions on both the receiver and your display
unit.

• Since the sound is muted on the display when using the

HDMI connection, you must adjust the volume on the
display every time you switch input sources.

Resetting the main unit

Use this procedure to reset all the receiver’s settings to the
factory default. Use the front panel controls to do this.

1

Switch the receiver into standby.

2

While holding down BAND, press and hold

STANDBY/ON for about two seconds.

3

When you see RESET? appear in the display, press AUTO

SURROUND/STREAM DIRECT.

4

Press ALC/STANDARD SURR to confirm.

OK appears in the display to indicate that the receiver has
been reset to the factory default settings.

Important

• If the

Control with HDMI function is set to ON, you may

not be able to reset the unit. In this case, reset either by
turning

OFF the Control with HDMI function, or by

putting the unit into standby mode by turning off the
power of all the connected devices, and resetting after the
HDMI indicator on the front panel turns off.

Cleaning the unit

• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.
• When the surface is dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in

some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water,
and wrung out well, and then wipe again with a dry cloth.
Do not use furniture wax or cleansers.

• Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays or other

chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode
the surface.
