The protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and – sides touch each other (v “Protection circuit”). • Never touch the speaker terminals while the power supply is connected. Doing so could result in electric shock.

L R • If the monitor or DVD player does not support xvYCC, xvYCC signal transfer is not possible. Setup Playback

L R • The audio and video signals input to the AVR-488’s HDMI input connector are output unchanged from the HDMI output connector. Because of this, the sound is output from the monitor connected using the HDMI connectors, but in order to take full advantage of the AVR-488’s playback sound, turn the TV’s

volume down. Remote Control • 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) Information • 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 an HDMI/DVI converter cable, but depending on the combination of components in some cases the video signals will not be output.

• When connecting using an HDMI/DVI converter adapter, the video signals may not be output properly Troubleshooting due to poor connections with the connected cable, etc.
