• An audio signal input to the HDMI IN jack
is output from the speaker output jack and
HDMI OUT jack. It is not output from any
other audio jacks.
• Video signals input to the HDMI IN jack can

the sound does not come out of a component
connected via the HDMI cable.
• Sound may be interrupted when the
sampling frequency or the number of
channels of audio output signals from the
playback component is switched.
• When the connected component is not
compatible with copyright protection
technology (HDCP), the image and/or the
