Connecting an HDMI-compatible device
n About ARC (Audio Return Channel) function
This function plays TV audio on this unit by sending the TV audio signal to this unit via HDMI cable.
If a TV without the ARC function is connected via HDMI connections, video signals of the playback
device connected to this unit are transmitted to the TV, but this unit can not play back the audio from
the TV. If you want to enjoy surround audio for TV program, a separate audio cable connection is
required.
In contrast, if a TV with the ARC function is connected via HDMI connections, no audio cable connection
is required. Audio signals from the TV can be input to this unit through the HDMI cable between this
unit and the TV. This function allows you to enjoy surround playback on this unit for the TV.
When the ARC function is used, connect a device with a “Standard HDMI cable with Ethernet” or “High
Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet” for HDMI.
Refer to the owner's manual for your TV for details about TV connection and settings.
