Important Information
About HDMI
“HDMI”  is  the  abbreviation  of  “High  Definition  Multimedia 
Interface”. This interface allows transfer of digital video signals and 
digital audio signals over a single HDMI cable.
“HDMI”,  “HDMI  logo”  and  “High-Definition  Multimedia 
Interface”  are  trademarks  or  registered  trademarks  of  HDMI 
Licensing LLC.
Functions Usable with HDMI Connections
Deep Color
Eliminates  on-screen  color  banding,  for  smooth  tonal  transitions 
and subtle gradations between colors. Enables increased contrast 
ratio.
x.v.Color
Lets HDTVs display colors more accurately. Enables displays with 
natural, vivid colors. “x.v.Color” is a Sony registered trademark.
Auto Lip Sync (vpage 43)
If you connect the receiver to a TV that supports the Auto Lip Sync 
function, it can automatically correct delay between the audio and 
video.
HDMI Control Function (vpage 99)
This  function  allows  you  to  operate  external  devices  from  the 
receiver and operate the receiver from external devices.
NOTE
These  functions  will  not  work  if  the  device  connected  to  the 
HDMI terminal  does not support Deep Color or x.v.Color signal 
transfer or the Auto Lip Sync function.
The  HDMI  control  function  may  not  work  depending  on  the 
device it is connected to and its settings.
You cannot operate a TV or Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player that 
is not compatible with the HDMI control function. 
Copyright Protection System (HDCP)
To play DVD-Video and DVD-Audio digital video and audio via the 
HDMI/DVI  connection,  the  connected  Blu-ray  disc  player,  DVD 
player  and  monitor  each  need  to  support  a  copyright  protection 
system called HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
HDCP  is  copyright  protection  technology  comprised  of  data 
encryption and authentication of the connected AV device. The AVR-
4810CI supports HDCP. Please consult the operating instructions 
of your Blu-ray disc player, DVD player or monitor.
NOTE
When a device  that does not  support  HDCP is connected,  video 
signals are not properly output.
