Connecting an HDMI-Compatible Device
You can connect up to three HDMI-compatible devices to the unit.
Cables Used for Connections
Audio and video cable (sold separately)
HDMI cable
This interface allows transfer of digital video signals and digital audio signals over a single HDMI cable.
About HDMI Cables
Use a cable on which the HDMI logo is indicated (a certified HDMI product) for connection to the HDMI
connector. Normal playback may not be possible when using a cable other than one on which the HDMI
logo is indicated (a non-HDMI-certified product).
When a device supporting Deep Color signal transfer is connected, use a cable compatible with HDMI
version 1.3a.
When outputting Deep Color or 1080p, etc., we recommend you use High Speed HDMI cable for
enhanced high-quality playback.
This unit supports “Deep Color” and “x.v.Color”. For details about “Deep Color” and “x.v.Color”, see
page 72, 74.
Copyright protection system
In order to play back digital video and audio such as BD-Video or DVD-Video via HDMI connection, both
this unit and TV need to support the copyright protection system known as HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection System). HDCP is copyright protection technology comprised of data
encryption and authentication of the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP.
If a device that does not support HDCP is connected, video and audio are not output correctly. Read
the owner’s manual of your television for more information.

About ARC (Audio Return Channel) Function
The Audio Return Channel in HDMI 1.4 enables a TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data
“upstream” to this unit, increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF
audio connection.
To enable the ARC function, set “HDMI Control” to “ON” (vpage 55).
Connect using a cable compatible with HDMI 1.4.
