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
