Connection example 5: Connecting playback devices to the processor via an AV amplifier

See this connection example when you connect playback devices via an AV amplifier, not directly to the processor. The connection method is the same as when you use a theater rack or a sound bar with HDMI jacks instead of an AV amplifier.

Note

In the HDMI transmission system, the sender device transmits the signals in video/audio formats to the receiver device, according to the video/audio formats supported and indicated by the receiver device. This means that, in this type of connection, only the audio formats supported by the AV amplifier are transmitted to the processor. Therefore, the audio formats may be limited to fewer than those supported by the processor. Note that you may not be able to enjoy the full advantage of the processor with this type of connection.

Set the CONTROL FOR HDMI switch to “MODE2.”

Connect the DP-HW700 processor, an AV amplifier, a TV, a BD/DVD device and/or a game device.

If the devices are connected to the TV, disconnect them from the TV, and connect them to the processor.

Connect the processor and the AV amplifier with the optical digital cable (sold separately).

Only one optical digital cable is supplied.

Tip

The signal input to the TV (OPT) IN jack is passed through as-is from the TV (OPT) OUT (THROUGH) jack (Optical pass-through function).

Connect a BD/DVD device and/or a game device to the AV amplifier with an HDMI cable (High Speed type) (sold separately).

Notes

Turn off the processor or set it to standby mode before you operate the CONTROL FOR HDMI switch.

The ARC function does not work on the processor when the CONTROL FOR HDMI switch is set to “MODE2.” To listen to TV sound on this system, connect the processor and the TV with the optical digital cable, even if the TV supports ARC.
