Getting Started Connections Setup Playback Remote Control Multi-Zone Information Troubleshooting
• With HDMI, the video and audio signals are transferred
simultaneously. When HDMI is assigned to an input source, the
audio signal switches to HDMI along with the video signal. To use
with the digital audio input connectors assigned, set menu “Input
Mode” to “AUTO”.
• When the AVR-788 and monitor are connected with an HDMI cable,
if the monitor is not compatible with HDMI audio signal playback,
only the video signals are output to the monitor.
• The audio signals input from the analog, digital and EXT. IN connectors
are not output to the monitor.
