HDMI

Change the settings of the HDMI function.

HDMI CEC (Default Value: On)

Setting this to "On" enables the input selection link and other link functions with
HDMI-connected CEC-compatible device.
When this setting is changed, turn off and then on again the power of all
connected devices.
Depending on the TV to use, a link setting may be required on the TV.
This function is effective only when the device is connected to the HDMI OUT
MAIN jacks.
Setting this to "On" and closing the operation screen will display the name
of the connected CEC-compatible device and "CEC On" on the main unit’s
display.
When this function is set to "On", the power consumption in standby state
increases, however, the increase in power consumption is minimized by
automatically entering the HYBRID STANDBY mode where only the essential
circuits operate.
If you operate the MASTER VOLUME dial on the main unit when this setting is
"On" and audio is output from the TV speakers, audio will be output also from
the speakers connected to this unit. To output audio from only either of them,
change the setting of this unit or TV, or reduce the volume of this unit.
If abnormal behavior is observed when this is set to "On", set it to "Off".
If a connected device is not CEC-compatible, or if you are not sure whether it
is compatible, set it to "Off".

an HDMI-connected player on the TV even if the unit is in standby mode. Also,
only "Auto" and "Auto (Eco)" can be selected if "HDMI CEC" is set to "On". If you
select anything else, set "HDMI CEC" to "Off".
When this function is set to a value other than "Off", the power consumption
in standby state increases, however, the increase in power consumption is
minimized by automatically entering the HYBRID STANDBY mode where only
the essential circuits operate.
To play a non-CEC compliant player on the TV, turn the unit on and switch the
input.
When using a CEC-compliant TV, you can reduce the power consumption in
standby mode by selecting "Auto (Eco)".

decided which player to use with this function.
Last You can play on the TV the video and audio of the input
selected immediately before the unit is switched to standby.

Auto (Eco)
Select one of these settings when you have connected
equipment that conforms to the CEC standard. You can
