If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC

outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed

and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and

mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of

this unit should be performed only by qualified

service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the

cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make

sure it is properly disposed of after removal.

The equipment should be disconnected by removing

the mains plug from the wall socket when left unused

for a long period of time (for example, when on

vacation).

CAUTION

The STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not

completely shut off all power from the AC outlet.

Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect

device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the

AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make

sure the unit has been installed so that the power

cord can be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in

case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power

cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet

when left unused for a long period of time (for

Connecting your equipment

Determining the speakers’ application

By connecting the left and right front speakers (L/R), the

center speaker (C), the left and right surround speakers (SL/

SR), the left and right surround back speakers (SBL/SBR) (or

the left and right front height speakers (FHL/FHR)), and the

subwoofer (SW), a surround sound system up to 7.1 channel

can be enjoyed.

The 5.1 channel surround system is the most commonly-used

in home theaters. To achieve the best possible surround

sound, install your speakers as shown below.

Important

•

VSX-1022 only: Both the surround back speakers and the

front height speakers can be connected at the same time.

In this case, sound will be output from either the front

height speaker or the surround back speaker depending on

which one was selected in the Speaker System setting

(see The Speaker System setting (VSX-1022 only) on

page 49).

•

VSX-822 only: To connect the surround back or front

height speakers, an additional amplifier is required.

Connect the additional amplifier to the PRE OUT SURR

BACK/FRONT HEIGHT outputs of this unit and connect the

surround back or front height speakers to the additional

amplifier (see Connect the surround back or front height

speakers (In case of VSX-822) on page 12).

VSX-1022 only: Another way, you can use the speakers

connected to the B speaker terminals to listen to stereo

playback in another room. See Switching the speaker terminal

on page 14 for the listening options with this setup.

•

You will not be able to connect the B speakers if you

connect the front height speakers in the main zone.

Further, if you use the B speakers, a 5.1 ch playback will be

the maximum in the main zone. (No sound is output from

the surround back speaker.)

Some tips for improving sound quality

Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on

the quality of the sound. The following guidelines should help

you to get the best sound from your system.

•

It is best to angle the speakers towards the listening

position. The angle depends on the size of the room. Use

less of an angle for bigger rooms.

•

Refer to the chart below for placement of speakers you

intend to connect.

Place the surround speakers at 120º from the center. If

you, (1) use the surround back speaker, and, (2) don’t use

the front height speakers, we recommend placing the

surround speaker right beside you.

If you intend to connect only one surround back

speakers, place it directly behind you.

If the surround speakers cannot be set directly to the side

of the listening position with a 7.1-channel system, the

surround effect can be enhanced by turning off the Up

Mix function (see Setting the Up Mix function on page 35).

•

For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2 m to

3 m apart, at equal distance from the TV.

•

If you’re using a center speaker, place the front speakers at

a wider angle. If not, place them at a narrower angle.

•

Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the

sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.

Also, make sure the center speaker does not cross the line

formed by the leading edge of the front left and right

speakers.

Connecting your equipment

•

Surround and surround back speakers should be

positioned 60 cm to 90 cm higher than your ears and titled

slight downward. Make sure the speakers don’t face each

other. For DVD-Audio, the speakers should be more directly

behind the listener than for home theater playback.

•

Try not to place the surround speakers farther away from

the listening position than the front and center speakers.

Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.

•

Place the left and right front height speakers at least one

meter directly above the left and right front speakers.

•

If you’re going to place speakers around your CRT TV, use

shielded speakers or place the speakers at a sufficient

distance from your CRT TV.

•

The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the other

speakers should be at about ear-level when you’re listening

to them. Putting the speakers on the floor (except the

subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a wall is not

recommended.

•

When not connecting a subwoofer, connect speakers with

low frequency reproduction capabilities to the front

channel. (The subwoofer’s low frequency component is

played from the front speakers, so the speakers could be

damaged.)

•

After connecting, be sure to conduct the Auto MCACC

(speaker environment setting) procedure.

See Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC)

on page 23.

CAUTION

•

Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This not

only improves sound quality, but also reduces the risk of

damage or injury resulting from speakers being knocked

over or falling in the event of external shocks such as

earthquakes.

Connecting the speakers

The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front

speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is

recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround

sound.

Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right (R)

terminal and the speaker on the left to the left (L) terminal.

Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on

the receiver match those on the speakers.

You can use speakers with a normal impedance between 6 Ω

and 16 Ω.

Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit

to the AC power source.

Bare wire connections

Twist exposed wire strands together.

Loosen terminal and insert exposed wire.

Tighten terminal.

Connect the wires to the B-Speakers terminals of the VSX-1022

as shown below:

Twist exposed wire strands together.

Push open the tabs and insert exposed wire.

Release the tabs.

CAUTION

•

These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage.

To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or

disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power

cord before touching any uninsulated parts.

•

Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together

and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the

bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the

power to cut off as a safety measure.

Connect the surround back or front height

speakers (In case of VSX-1022)

The Speaker System setting must be set if the above

connections are performed. Select Surr.Back if the surround

back speaker is connected and Height if the front height

speaker is connected (If neither the surround back speaker

nor the front height speaker is connected, either setting will

suffice) (see The Speaker System setting (VSX-1022 only) on

page 49).

•

When using only one surround back speaker, connect it to

the SURROUND BACK L (Single) terminals.

Connect the surround back or front height

speakers (In case of VSX-822)

Connect the PRE OUT SURR BACK/FRONT HEIGHT outputs

of the unit and additional amplifier to add a surround back or

front height speaker.

The Pre Out setting must be set if the above connections are

performed. Select Surr.Back if the surround back speaker is

connected and Height if the front height speaker is

connected (If neither the surround back speaker nor the front

height speaker is connected, either setting will suffice) (see

The Pre Out Setting (VSX-822 only) on page 50).

•

You can use the additional amplifier on the surround back

channel pre-outs for a single speaker as well. In this case

plug the amplifier into the left (L (Single)) terminal only.

About the video converter (VSX-1022 only)

The video converter ensures that all video sources are output

from the HDMI OUT terminal.

Note

•

If several video components are assigned to the same input

function, the converter gives priority to HDMI, component,

then composite (in that order).

•

If the video signal does not appear on your TV, 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 converted. In this case, try

switching Video Converter OFF (see Video Converter on

page 49).

•

The signal input resolutions that can be converted from the

component video input for the HDMI output are 480i/576i,

480p/576p, 720p and 1080i. 1080p signal cannot be

converted.

About video outputs connection

(VSX-822 only)

This receiver is not loaded with a video converter. When you

use HDMI cables for connecting to the input device, the same

cables should be used for connecting to the TV.

The signals input from the analog (composite) video inputs of

this unit will not be output from the HDMI OUT terminal.

Basic Setup

Canceling the demo display

The display on the front panel shows various information

(demo displays) when the receiver is not operating.

You can turn off the demo display. For details, see The FL

Demo Mode menu on page 51.

•

The demo mode is canceled automatically when the Auto

MCACC setup is performed (see below).

Automatically setting up for surround sound

(MCACC)

The Auto Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) setup

measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area,

taking into account ambient noise, speaker size and distance,

and tests for both channel delay and channel level. After you

have set up the microphone provided with your system, the

receiver uses the information from a series of test tones to

optimize the speaker settings and equalization for your

particular room.

CAUTION

•

The test tones used in the Auto MCACC setup are output at

high volume.

Important

•

The OSD will not appear if you have connected using the

composite output to your TV. Use HDMI connection for

Auto MCACC setup.

•

The Auto MCACC setup will overwrite any existing speaker

settings you’ve made.

•

Before using the Auto MCACC setup, the NETRADIO,

PANDORA, M.SERVER, FAVORITE, iPod/USB or

ADAPTER input should not be selected as an input source.

•

VSX-1022 only: When both the surround back speaker and

the front height speaker are connected, conduct Auto

MCACC setup twice: once with the Speaker System setting

is in Surr.Back and once with the Speaker System setting

is in Height. (There is no need to conduct Auto MCACC

setup every time the Speaker System setting is changed.)

•

VSX-822 only: If you connected either the surround back

speaker or the front height speaker, make sure that the Pre

Out setting is correctly set before performing the Auto

MCACC setup (see page 50). (Here is an explanation using

the OSD screen for a surround back speaker connection.)

Switch on the receiver and your TV.

Switch the TV input to the input that connects this

receiver to the TV through the corresponding HDMI

cable.

Connect the microphone to the MCACC SETUP MIC jack

on the front panel.

Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers

•

Mic In! blinks when the microphone is not connected

to MCACC SETUP MIC jack.

Try to be as quiet as possible after pressing

ENTER

. The

system outputs a series of test tones to establish the

ambient noise level.

Follow the instructions on-screen.

•

Make sure the microphone is connected.

•

Make sure the subwoofer is on and the volume is

turned up.

•

When using surround back or front height speakers,

turn on the power to the amplifier to which the

surround back or front height speakers are connected,

and adjust the sound level to the desired level.

•

See below for notes regarding background noise and

other possible interference.

Wait for the test tones to finish.

A progress report is displayed on-screen while the

receiver outputs test tones to determine the speakers

present in your setup. Try to be as quiet as possible while

it’s doing this.

•

For correct speaker settings, do not adjust the volume

during the test tones.

Confirm the speaker configuration.

The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the

actual speakers you have.

•

With error messages (such as Too much ambient

noise) select RETRY after checking for ambient noise

(see Other problems when using the Auto MCACC

setup below).

If the speaker configuration displayed isn’t correct, use

/

to select the speaker and

/-

to change the

setting. When you’re finished, go to the next step.

If you see an error message (ERR) in the right side

column, there may be a problem with the speaker

connection. If selecting RETRY doesn’t fix the problem,

turn off the power and check the speaker connections.

Make sure ‘OK’ is selected, then press

ENTER

If the screen in step 7 is left untouched for 10 seconds

and

ENTER

is not pressed in step 8, the Auto MCACC

setup will start automatically as shown.

A progress report is displayed on-screen while the

receiver outputs more test tones to determine the

optimum receiver settings for channel level, speaker

distance, and Acoustic Calibration EQ.

Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is

happening. It may take 1 to 3 minutes.

The Auto MCACC setup has finished! You return to the

Home Menu.

The settings made in the Auto MCACC setup should give

you excellent surround sound from your system, but it is

also possible to adjust these settings manually using the

Home Menu (starting on page 46).

Note

•

Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes

identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm

(5 inches) will end up with different size settings. You can

correct the setting manually using the Speaker Setting on

page 46.

•

The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the

actual distance from the listening position. This setting

should be accurate (taking delay and room characteristics

into account) and generally does not need to be changed.

Other problems when using the Auto MCACC

setup

If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC

setup (too much background noise, echo off the walls,

obstacles blocking the speakers from the microphone) the

final settings may be incorrect. Check for household

appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.), that may be

affecting the environment and switch them off if necessary. If

there are any instructions showing in the front panel display,

please follow them.

•

Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the

microphone. If this seems to be happening, switch off the

TV when doing the Auto MCACC setup.

accommodate playback of various audio formats. Choose one

according to your speaker environment or the source.



While listening to a source, press the listening mode

button repeatedly to select a listening mode you want.

•

The listening mode is shown on the display on the front

panel.

Important

•

The listening modes and many features described in this

section may not be available depending on the current

source, settings and status of the receiver.

Auto playback

The simplest, most direct listening option is the AUTO

SURROUND feature. With this, the receiver automatically

Listening in surround sound below for more on these

decoding formats).

•

When listening to the ADAPTER input, the S.R AIR feature

is selected automatically (see Using the Advanced surround

on page 34 for more on this).

Listening in surround sound

Using this receiver, you can listen to any source in surround

sound. However, the options available will depend on your

speaker setup and the type of source you’re listening to.

•

If the source is Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround

encoded, the proper decoding format will automatically be

selected and shows in the display.

Better sound using Phase Control

This receiver’s Phase Control feature uses phase correction

measures to make sure your sound source arrives at the

listening position in phase, preventing unwanted distortion

and/or coloring of the sound.

Phase Control technology provides coherent sound

reproduction through the use of phase matching for an

optimal sound image at your listening position. The default

setting is on and we recommend leaving Phase Control

switched on for all sound sources.



While listening to a source, press , then press

PHASE

to switch the P.CTL (Phase Control) ON or OFF.

Note

•

Phase matching is a very important factor in achieving

proper sound reproduction. If two waveforms are ‘in phase’,

they crest and trough together, resulting in increased

amplitude, clarity and presence of the sound signal. If a

crest of a wave meets a trough, then the sound will be ‘out

of phase’ and an unreliable sound image will be produced.

•

If your subwoofer has a phase control switch, set it to the

plus (+) sign (or 0°). However, the effect you can actually

feel when Phase Control is set to ON on this receiver

depends on the type of your subwoofer. Set your subwoofer

to maximize the effect. It is also recommended you try

changing the orientation or the place of your subwoofer.

•

Set the built-in lowpass filter switch of your subwoofer to

OFF. If this cannot be done on your subwoofer, set the

cutoff frequency to a higher value.

•

If the speaker distance is not properly set, you may not have

a maximized Phase Control effect.

•

The Phase Control mode cannot be set to ON in the

following cases:

When the PURE DIRECT mode is switched on.

When the headphones are connected.

Using surround back channel processing

You can have the receiver automatically use 6.1 or 7.1

decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (for example, Dolby Digital

EX or DTS-ES), or you can choose to always use 6.1 or 7.1

decoding (for example, with 5.1 encoded material). With 5.1

encoded sources, a surround back channel will be generated,

but the material may sound better in the 5.1 format for which

it was originally encoded (in which case, you can simply

switch surround back channel processing off).

•

With a 7.1-channel surround system, audio signals that

have undergone matrix decoding processing through

surround back channel processing to which the Up Mix

function is added are output from the surround back

speakers.



Press , then press

SB CH

repeatedly to cycle

the surround back channel options.

Each press cycles through the options as follows:

•

SB ON – Matrix decoding processing for generating

the surround back component from the surround

component is turned on.

•

SB AUTO – Matrix decoding processing for generating

the surround back component from the surround

component is switched automatically. Matrix

decoding processing is only performed when surround

back channel signals are detected in the input signals.

•

SB OFF – Matrix decoding processing for generating

the surround back component from the surround

component is turned off.

Setting the Up Mix function

In a 7.1-channel surround system with surround speakers

placed directly at the sides of the listening position, the

surround sound of 5.1-channel sources is heard from the side.

The Up Mix function mixes the sound of the surround

speakers with the surround back speakers so that the

surround sound is heard from diagonally to the rear as it

should be.

•

Using the Up Mix function is effective when the speakers in

the 7.1-channel surround system are set up as

recommended in the example on page 11.

•

Depending on the positions of the speakers and the sound

source, in some cases it may not be possible to achieve

good results. In this case, set the setting to OFF.

Switch the receiver into standby.

While holding down

PRESET

on the front panel, and

hold the



STANDBY/ON

for about two seconds.

UP MIX: OFF appears and the Up Mix function turns off.

If you want to turn this function on, perform steps 1 and

2 again.

•

When set to ON, the (Up Mix) indicator on the front

panel lights.

Note

•

Set to ON regardless of this setting when playing DTS-HD

signals.

•

May automatically be set to OFF even when set to ON,

depending on the input signal and listening mode.

Listening to Internet radio stations

Internet radio is an audio broadcasting service transmitted via

the Internet. There are a large number of Internet radio

stations broadcasting a variety of services from every corner

of the world. Some are hosted, managed, and broadcast by

private individuals while others are by the corresponding

traditional terrestrial radio stations or radio networks.

Whereas terrestrial, or OTA (over-the-air), radio stations are

geographically restricted on the range of radio waves

broadcast from a transmitter through the air, Internet radio

stations are accessible from anywhere in the world, as long as

there is a connection to the Internet, as services are not

transmitted through the air but are delivered over the World

Wide Web. On this receiver you can select Internet radio

stations by genre as well as by region.

Depending on the Internet line conditions, the sound may not

be smooth when playing Internet radio.

About list of Internet radio

The list of Internet radio stations on this receiver is created,

edited, and managed by the vTuner database service

exclusively for use with this receiver. For details about vTuner,

Home Menu

Select ‘Manual SP Setup’ from the Home Menu.

Select ‘Speaker Setting’ from the Manual SP Setup

menu.

Choose the set of speakers that you want to set then

select a speaker size.

Use

/-

to select the size (and number) of each of the

following speakers:

•

Front – Select LARGE if your front speakers reproduce bass

frequencies effectively, or if you didn’t connect a

subwoofer. Select SMALL to send the bass frequencies to

the subwoofer.

•

Center – Select LARGE if your center speaker reproduces

bass frequencies effectively, or select SMALL to send bass

frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you

didn’t connect a center speaker, choose NO (the center

channel is sent to the other speakers).

•

Front Height – Select LARGE if your front height speakers

reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to

send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer.

If you didn’t connect front height speakers choose NO.

You can only adjust the Front Height setting when Pre

Out Setting is set to Height.

•

Surr – Select LARGE if your surround speakers reproduce

bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass

frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you

didn’t connect surround speakers choose NO (the sound of

the surround channels is sent to the other speakers).

•

Surr. Back – Select the number of surround back speakers

you have (one, two or none). Select LARGE if your surround

back speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively.

Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other

speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect surround back

speakers choose NO.

VSX-822 only: You can only adjust the Surr. Back setting

when Pre Out Setting is set to Surr. Back.

VSX-822 only: If you select one surround back speaker

only, make sure that additional amplifier is hooked up to

the PRE OUT L (Single) terminal.

VSX-1022 only: When using only one surround back

speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK L (Single)

terminals.

•

Subwoofer – LFE signals and bass frequencies of

channels set to SMALL are output from the subwoofer

when YES is selected (see notes below). Choose the PLUS

setting if you want the subwoofer to output bass sound

continuously or you want deeper bass (the bass

frequencies that would normally come out the front and

center speakers are also routed to the subwoofer). If you did

not connect a subwoofer choose NO (the bass frequencies

are output from other speakers).

When you’re finished, press

RETURN

You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

Note

•

If you select SMALL for the front speakers, the subwoofer

will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center,

surround, surround back and front height speakers can’t

be set to LARGE if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In

this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.

•

If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back

speakers will automatically be set to NO.

•

If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem

logical to select LARGE for your front speakers and PLUS

for the subwoofer. This may not, however, yield the best

bass results. Depending on the speaker placement of your

room you may actually experience a decrease in the

amount of bass due to low frequency cancellations. In this

case, try changing the position or direction of speakers. If

you can’t get good results, listen to the bass response with

it set to PLUS and YES or the front speakers set to LARGE

and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge which

sounds best. If you’re having problems, the easiest option

is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting

SMALL for the front speakers.

X.Over

•

Default setting: 100Hz

This setting decides the cutoff between bass sounds playing

back from the speakers selected as LARGE, or the subwoofer,

and bass sounds playing back from those selected as SMALL.

It also decides where the cutoff will be for bass sounds in the

LFE channel.

•

For more on selecting the speaker sizes, see Speaker Setting

on page 46.

Select ‘Manual SP Setup’ from the Home Menu.

Select ‘X.Over’ from the Manual SP Setup menu.

Choose the frequency cutoff point.

Frequencies below the cutoff point will be sent to the

subwoofer (or LARGE speakers).

Control with HDMI function

Synchronized operations below with a Control with HDMI-

compatible Pioneer TV or Blu-ray Disc player are possible

when the component is connected to the receiver using an

HDMI cable.

•

Synchronized amp mode

The receiver’s volume can be set and the sound can be

muted using the TV’s remote control.

•

Power synchronization with TV

•

Automatic switching of inputs

The receiver’s input switches over automatically when the

TV’s input is changed or a Control with HDMI-compatible

component is played.

Important

•

With Pioneer devices, the Control with HDMI functions are

referred to as “KURO LINK”.

•

You cannot use this function with components that do not

support Control with HDMI.

•

We only guarantee this receiver will work with Pioneer

made Control with HDMI-compatible components.

However, we do not guarantee that all synchronized

operations will work with components that support the

Control with HDMI function.

•

Use a High Speed HDMI® cable when you want to use the

Control with HDMI function. The Control with HDMI

function may not work properly if a different type of HDMI

cable is used.

•

For details about concrete operations, settings, etc., refer to

also the operating instructions for each component.

Making Control with HDMI connections

You can use synchronized operation for a connected TV and

other components.

•

Be sure to connect the TV’s audio cable to the audio input

of this unit. When the TV and receiver are connected by

HDMI connections, if the TV supports the HDMI Audio

Return Channel function, the sound of the TV is input to the

receiver via the HDMI terminal, so there is no need to

connect an audio cable. In this case, set ARC at HDMI

Setup to ON (see HDMI Setup below).

For details, see Connecting using HDMI on page 17.

Important

•

When connecting this system or changing connections, be

sure to switch the power off and disconnect the power cord

from the wall socket.

After completing all connections, connect the power cords

to the wall socket.

•

After this receiver is connected to an AC outlet, a 2 second

to 10 second HDMI initialization process begins. You

cannot carry out any operations during initialization. The

HDMI indicator on the display unit blinks during

initialization, and you can turn this receiver on once it has

stopped blinking.

•

To get the most out of this function, we recommend that

you connect your HDMI component not to a TV but rather

directly to the HDMI terminal on this receiver.

HDMI Setup

You must adjust the settings of this receiver as well as the

connected Control with HDMI-compatible components in

order to make use of the Control with HDMI function. For

more information see the operating instructions for each

component.

You return to the Home Menu.

Before using synchronization

Once you have finished all connections and settings, you

must:

Put all components into standby mode.

Turn the power on for all components, with the power

for the TV being turned on last.

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.

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.

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.
