Notes:
• Audio and video signals received via the HDMI IN jacks are output only by the HDMI OUT.
• Audio and video signals received via inputs other than the HDMI IN jacks are not output by the HDMI OUT.
• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input
can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll
need to make a separate connection for audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed.
In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.
• To watch an HDMI source that’s connected via the AV receiver’s HDMI jacks, the AV receiver must be turned on,
otherwise no HDMI signal will be output.
• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If
the picture is poor or there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the
connected component’s instruction manual for details.

Step 1: Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (con-
nection a in the hookup examples) (see pages 25 to 32).
Step 2: Make the connection.
Step 3: If you’re using an MD, CDR, or RI Dock, change the input Display (see page 39).
With (Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions:
■ Direct Change
When playback is started on a component connected via , the AV receiver automatically selects that component
as the input source. If your DVD player is connected to the AV receiver’s multichannel DVD input, you’ll need to
press the [MULTI CH] button to hear all channels (see page 41), as the Direct Change function only selects the
FRONT DVD IN jacks.
■ Remote Control
You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other -capable Onkyo components, pointing the
remote controller at the AV receiver’s remote control sensor instead of the component. You must enter the appropri-
ate remote control code first (page 63).

Troubleshooting—Continued
Memory Backup
The AV receiver uses a battery-less memory backup
system in order to retain radio presets and other set-
tings when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power fail-
ure. Although no batteries are required, the AV receiver
must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the
backup system. Once it has been charged, the AV
receiver will retain the settings for several weeks,
although this depends on the environment and will be
shorter in humid climates.
