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.
If the TV and playback components support the Control with HDMI feature, the convenient
Control with HDMI functions can be used (see Control with HDMI function on Operating
Instructions in CD-ROM).
• 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 HDMI Setup on Operating Instructions in
CD-ROM).
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 Control with HDMI 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 or component, the
input of the receiver may automatically switch to TV/SAT. If this happens, switch the
receiver’s input back to the original input, or turn OFF the Control with HDMI function (see
HDMI Setup on Operating Instructions in CD-ROM).
