 Connecting a TV and playback component  Plugging the receiver

 Important

• If the receiver is connected to a TV using an HDMI 

cable, the on-screen display (OSD) will not be 

displayed. Be sure to use a standard RCA analog 

video cable to connect. In this case, switch the TV 

input to analog to see the OSD screen (for setup, 

etc.) on the TV.

• When the Control with HDMI function is ON and 

the receiver is connected to a compatible TV with 

an HDMI cable, and you switch the input of the 

TV to composite, the input of the receiver may 

automatically switch to TV. If this happens, switch 

the receiver’s input back to the original input, or 

turn OFF the Control with HDMI function. 



"HDMI Setup"

If you have an HDMI or DVI (with HDCP) equipped component (Blu-ray Disc player, etc.), you can connect it to this 

receiver using a commercially available HDMI cable.

If the TV and playback components support the Control with HDMI feature, the convenient Control with HDMI 

functions can be used. 



"Control with HDMI function"

• The following connection/setting is required to listen to the sound of the TV over this receiver.

– If the TV does not support the HDMI Audio Return Channel function, connect the receiver and TV with audio 

cables (as shown).

– 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.

 CAUTION

• Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not pull 

out the plug by tugging the cord, and never touch the 

power cord when your hands are wet, as this could 

cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place 

the unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on the 

power cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never 

make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cables. The 

power cords should be routed so that they are not 

likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can 

cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check the 

power cord once in a while. If you find it damaged, 

ask your nearest Pioneer authorized independent 

service company for a replacement.

supplied with this unit.
