Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single eable ean carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital audio, or multichannel PCM). ‘The HDMI video stream (ie., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface),"! so TVs and displays with a DVI inpat can be connected by using an HDM-o-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and displays, resulting inno picture.) The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), so only HDCP-compatible components will display a picture. ‘The AV receiver's HDMI interface is based on the following standard: High-Definition Multimedia Interface Specification Informational Version 1.3a ‘Supported Audio Formats + 2-channel linear PCM (32-192 KH, 16/20/24 bit) + Multichannel linear PCM (7.1 ch, 32-192 kHz) + Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Pius, Dolby TrucHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution, DTS-HD Mas- ter Audio) ‘Your DVD player must be able to output these formats from its HDMI OUT. About Copyright Protection The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), ® a copy-protection system for digital video signals, Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP, Use a commercially available HDMI cable (supplied with some components) to connect the AV receiver's HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB to the HDMI input on your TV or projector Si DVT (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display intesface standard st by the DDWG'" in 1999.

See “HDMI Input Sep” on page 50. ) 1 Video Signals Digital video signals received by the HDMEIN jacks are normally output by the HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB for display on your TV. Composite video, S-Video, and component video sources can be upconverted for the DMT outputs. See "Video Connection Formats” on page 30 for more information 1m Audio Signals Digital audio signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are output by the speakers and headphones connected to the AV receiver. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI outputs, unless the HDMI Audio Out setting is set to On (see page 114), To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV's speakers, set the HDMI Audio Hint! }}f Out setting to On (see page 114), and set your DVD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM. ‘When listening to audio from an HDMI component through the AV receiver's speakers, set the HDMI ‘component so that its video can be seen on your TV (e.g., on your TV, select the input to which the HDMI component is connected). If your TV is not tumed on or a different input is selected, the AV receiver's speakers may produce no sound or the sound may be cut off Note: ‘+ When the HDMI Audio Out setiing is set to On (see page 114), or TV Control is set to Enable and you're listening rough your TV's speakers, if you turn up the AV receiver's volume control, the sound will be output by the AV receiver's speakers.
