Connecting a TV and playback components
Connecting using HDMI
If you have an HDMI or DVI (with HDCP) equipped component
(Blu-ray Disc player, etc.), you can connect it to this receiver
using a commercially available HDMI cable.
• The following connection/setting is required to listen to the
sound of the TV over this receiver.
- If the TV does not support the HDMI Audio Return
Channel function, connect the receiver and TV with audio
cables (as shown).
- If the TV supports the HDMI Audio Return Channel
function, the sound of the TV is input to the receiver via
the HDMI terminal, so there is no need to connect an
audio cable. In this case, set ARC at HDMI Setup to ON
(see The HDMI Setup menu on page 36 ).
Important
• If the receiver is connected to a TV using an HDMI cable,
the on-screen display (OSD) will not be displayed. Be sure
to use a standard RCA analog video cable to connect. In
this case, switch the TV input to analog to see the OSD
screen (for setup, etc.) on the TV.
• When the ARC function is ON and the receiver is
connected to a compatible TV with an HDMI cable, and you
switch the input of the TV to composite, the input of the
receiver may automatically switch to TV. If this happens,
switch the receiver’s input back to the original input, or turn
OFF
the ARC function (see The HDMI Setup menu on
page 36 ).
• Please refer to the TV’s operation manual for directions on
connections and setup for the TV.
Note
• In order to listen to the audio from the TV that is connected
to this receiver using an analog audio cables, set-up for
analog audio input is required (see The Input Assign menu
on page 35 ).
