* 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 B.
– connect E 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.
**If you connect the receiver to the Audio Return
Channel (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 “CTRL.HDMI” to “ CTRL ON” in HDMI
menu (page 56). If you want to select an audio
signal using other than an HDMI cable (e.g., via
an optical digital cord or an audio cord), switch
the audio input mode using INPUT MODE
(page 51).
Notes
• Before connecting cords, be sure to disconnect the
AC power cord (mains lead).
• 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.
• Connect a TV monitor or a projector to the HDMI
TV OUT or MONITOR OUT jack on the receiver.
You may not be able to record even if you connect
recording equipment.
• 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 IN jacks 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”.
