HDMI Control allows you to operate external devices
via HDMI. If you connect a TV that supports HDMI Control to the
unit with an HDMI cable, you can control the unit (such as power and
volume) with TV remote control operations. You can also control
playback devices (such as HDMI Control-compatible BD/DVD players)
connected to the unit with an HDMI cable.
Operations available from the unit’s remote control
- Starting playback on the playback
device and turning on the TV with a scene selection ()
- Switching the TV input to display the on-screen
menu (when ON SCREEN is pressed)
- Controlling the playback device (playback and menu
operations) using the external device operation keys
(Example)
To use HDMI Control, you need to perform the following HDMI
Control link setup after connecting the TV and playback devices.
For details on settings and operating your TV, refer to the
instruction manual for the TV.
This setup is required every time you add a new HDMI Control-compatible
device to your system.
- Turn on the unit, TV,
and playback devices.
- Configure the settings of the unit.
- Switch the TV input to
display video from the unit.
- Press ON SCREEN.
- Use the cursor keys to select “Setup” and press ENTER.
- Use the cursor keys (e/r)
to select “HDMI”.
- Use the cursor keys (q/w)
to select “HDMI Control” and press ENTER.
- Use the cursor keys to select “On”.
- Press ON SCREEN.
- Enable HDMI Control on the TV and playback devices
(such as HDMI Control-compatible BD/DVD players).
- Turn off the main power of the TV and then turn
off the unit and playback devices.
- Turn on the unit and playback devices and then turn
on the TV.
- Switch the TV input to display the video from the
unit.
- Check the followings.
On the unit: The input to which the playback device is connected
is selected. If not, select the input source manually.
On the TV: The video from the playback device is displayed.
- Check that the unit is properly synchronized with
the TV by turning off the TV or adjusting the TV volume with the
TV remote control.
- If HDMI Control does not work properly, try unplugging the
TV in Step 2 and plugging in the TV again in Step 3. It may solve
the problem. Also, HDMI Control may not work if the number of connected
devices exceeds the limit. In this case, disable HDMI Control on
the devices not in use.
- If the unit is not synchronized to the TV’s power
operations, check the priority of the audio output setting on the
TV.
- We recommend using TV and playback devices from
the same manufacturer so that HDMI Control works more effectively.
- We do not assure the operation of all HDMI Control-compatible
devices.
