3: Connecting the TV
You can watch the selected input image when
you connect the HDMI TV OUT jack to a TV.
Before connecting cords, be sure to disconnect
the AC power cord (mains lead).
* To enjoy the TV broadcast in multi channel
surround sound from the speakers connected to
the receiver, you can make either one of the
following connections:
– connect A.
– connect B if your TV is compatible with the
Audio Return Channel (ARC) function.
Be sure to turn off the TV’s volume or activate the
TV’s muting function.
**This receiver is compatible with the Audio Return
Channel (ARC) function. If you connect the
receiver to the ARC compatible TV, the TV
sound will output from the speakers connected to
the receiver via the HDMI TV OUT jack. Be sure
to set the “ARC” to “ARC ON” in HDMI menu
(page 37).
Notes
• Be sure to turn the receiver on when the video and
audio signals of a playback equipment are being
output to a TV via the receiver. Unless the power is
turned on, neither video nor audio signals will be
transmitted.
• Depending on the status of the connection between
the TV and the antenna (aerial), the image on the
TV screen may be distorted. If this is the case,
place the antenna (aerial) farther away from the
receiver.
• When connecting optical digital cords, insert the
plugs straight until they click into place.
• Do not bend or tie optical digital cords.
Tips
• All the digital audio jacks are compatible with
32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz sampling
frequencies.
• When you connect the audio output jack of the TV
to the TV OPT IN jack of the receiver to output the
TV sound from the speakers connected to the
receiver, set the sound output jack of the TV to
“Fixed” if it can be switched between either
“Fixed” or “Variable”.
