About ARC (Audio return channel) function
The Audio Return Channel in HDMI 1.4 enables a TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data “upstream”
to this unit, increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF audio connection.
NOTE
To enable the ARC function, set “HDMI Control” to “ON” (vpage58).
About Content Type
The HDMI Specification Version 1.4 enables simple, automated picture setting selection with no user
intervention.
The Content Type feature enables a display to auto-select the correct viewing mode to match the content
type it is currently receiving from a source device, and to switch modes when a new content source is
selected. Content Type supports content profiles for gaming, movie, photograph, and text viewing modes.
NOTE
To enable the Content type, set “Video Mode” to “Auto” (vpage47).

bandwidth Digital Content Protection System). HDCP is copyright protection technology comprised of
data encryption and authentication of the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP.
• If a device that does not support HDCP is connected, video and audio are not output correctly. Read
the owner’s manual of your television or player for more information.
About HDMI cables
• When a device supporting Deep Color signal transfer is connected, use a cable compatible “High Speed
HDMI cable” or “High Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet”
• When the ARC function is used, connect a device with a ”Standard HDMI cable with Ethernet” or “High
Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet” for HDMI 1.4.
