trol. Operate the device using another remote control.
HDMI
Symptom Remedy
The HDMI indicator blinks continu-
ously.
Check all the points below.
Video/audio is not output or is inter-
rupted.
This receiver is HDCP-compatible. Check that the components you are connecting are
also HDCP-compatible. If they are not, please connect them using the component or
composite video jacks.
Depending on the connected source component, it’s possible that it will not work with
this receiver (even if it is HDCP-compatible). In this case, connect using the component
or composite video jacks between source and receiver.
If the problem still persists when connecting your HDMI component directly to your
monitor, please consult the component or monitor manual or contact the manufacturer
for support.
If video images do not appear on your TV, try adjusting the resolution, Deep Color or other
setting for your component.
While analog video signals are being output over HDMI, use a separate connection for
audio output.
To output signals in Deep Color, use an HDMI cable (High Speed HDMI
®

Cable) to
connect this receiver to a component or TV with the Deep Color feature.
The picture and sound output get cut
off, or there is no output produced.
Influence from a TV whose power is set to standby may cause the picture or sound output
to not be produced or to get cut off. In this case, press OUT P., and make sure to use an
output other than the HDMI output to which that TV is connected.
No picture.
Try changing the Resolution setting (in Setting the Video options on page 67 ).
To use the HDMI OUT 2 terminal in the main zone, set the MAIN/HDZONE
Output Setting to MAIN (page 92 ).
No sound, or sound suddenly
ceases.
Check that the HDMI Audio setting is set to AMP (Setting the Audio options on page 65
).
If the component is a DVI device, use a separate connection for the audio.
If analog video is being output over HDMI, please use a separate connection for the
audio.
Check the audio output settings of the source component.
HDMI format digital audio transmissions require a longer time to be recognized. Due
to this, interruption in the audio may occur when switching between audio formats or
beginning playback.
Turning on/off the device connected to this unit’s HDMI OUT terminal during playback,
or disconnecting/connecting the HDMI cable during playback, may cause noise or inter-
rupted audio.
Noisy or distorted picture. Sometimes a video deck may output a noisy video signal (during scanning, for example),
or the video quality may just be poor (with some video game units, for example). The
picture quality may also depend on the settings, etc. of your display device. Switch off
the video converter and reconnect the source and display device using the same type of
connection (component or composite), then start playback again.
If the problem still persists when connecting your HDMI component directly to your
monitor, please consult the component or monitor manual or contact the manufacturer
for support.
