 Connecting a TV and playback component  Plugging the receiver

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. 

– The ARC function may not operate even with the above connections. If this is the case, connect the receiver 

and the TV with an audio cable.

 CAUTION

• Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not pull 

out the plug by tugging the cord, and never touch the 

power cord when your hands are wet, as this could 

cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place 

the unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on the 

power cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never 

make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cables. The 

power cords should be routed so that they are not 

likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can 

cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check the 

power cord once in a while. If you find it damaged, 

ask your nearest Pioneer authorized independent 

service company for a replacement.

supplied with this unit.
