This version is compatible with other versions, allowingconnection to all components equipped with an HDMI connector.b The AVR-1708 is compatible with 30- and 36-bit Deep Color.b The AVR-1708 can be connected to a device equipped with an HDMI output connector using an HDMIcable.b The AVR-1708 is compatible with HDMI Ver. 1.3a Deep Color and xvYCC.• The audio and video signals input to the AVR-1708’s HDMI input connector are output unchanged fromthe HDMI output connector. Because of this, the sound is output from the monitor connected using theHDMI connectors, but in order to take full advantage of the AVR-1708’s playback sound, turn the TV’svolume down.• If the connected monitor or DVD player only has a DVI-D connector, use an HDMI/DVI converter cable.When using a DVI cable, no audio signals are transmitted.• Use a Deep Color compatible cable for connection to Deep Color compatible devices.When connecting with an HDMI/DVI converter cable (adapter)• HDMI video signals are theoretically compatible with the DVI format.When connecting to a monitor, etc., equipped with a DVI-D connector, connection is possible using anHDMI/DVI converter cable, but depending on the combination of components in some cases the videosignals will not be output.• When connecting using an HDMI/DVI converter adapter, the video signals may not be output properlydue to poor connections with the connected cable, etc.NOTE• The audio signal input to the HDMI input connector cannot be played on the AVR-1708. Input the audiosignal to the digital audio input connector or analog audio input connector.• The AVR-1708 cannot be controlled from another device via the HDMI cable.• Video signals are not output if the input video signals do not match the monitor’s resolution. In this case,switch the DVD player’s resolution to a resolution with which the monitor is compatible.• Use a cable on which the HDMI logo is indicated (a certified HDMI product) for connection to the HDMIconnector.
