HDMI devices
If any of your source devices have HDMI connectors, using those connectors will provide
the best possible video and audio performance quality. Since the HDMI cable carries
both digital video and digital audio signals, you do not have to make any additional audio
connections for devices you connect via HDMI cables.
• The AVR remote control is pre-programmed to control a Harman/Kardon Blu-ray Disc
or DVD player when the HDMI 1 Source Selector button is pressed.
If you have a TV equipped with the HDMI Audio Return Channel function, its sound is fed
to the AVR via the HDMI Out connector’s Audio Return Channel, and it will not require
additional audio connections to the AVR.
