An introduction to RDS
Radio Data System (RDS) is a system used by
most FM radio stations to provide listeners with
various kinds of information—the name of the
station and the kind of show they’re
broadcasting, for example.
One feature of RDS is that you can search by
type of program. For example, you can search
for a station that’s broadcasting a show with
the program type, JAZZ.

Symptom Remedy
No picture or sound. • 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.
No picture. • Video signals that are input from the analog video terminal will not
output from the HDMI terminal. Signals that are input from the HDMI
terminal will not output from the analog video terminal. Be consistent
with the type of cable between input and output.
• Depending in the output settings of the source component, it may be
outputting a video format that can’t be displayed. Change the output
settings of the source, or connect using the component or composite
jacks.

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 video images do not appear on your TV, try adjusting the resolution,

the component.
• Check the audio output settings of the source component.
• Check that the Audio Parameter setting is set to HDMI AMP/THRU
(refer to page 37).
• If the component is a DVI device, use a separate connection for the audio.
• 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 interrupted audio.

1 • If your display only has one HDMI terminal, you can only receive HDMI video from the connected component.
• Depending on the component, audio output may be limited to the number of channels available from the connected display
unit (for example audio output is reduced to 2 channels for a monitor with stereo audio limitations).
• If you want to switch the input source, you’ll have to switch functions on both the receiver and your display unit.
• Since the sound is muted on the display when using the HDMI connection, you must adjust the volume on the display every
time you switch input sources.
