Audio connection formats
Audio components can be connected by using any
of the following audio connection formats (shown
best first):
•HDMI
•Optical
•Coaxial
•Analog
*1 - Depends on the Audio TV Out setting.
*2 - This setting is available when the Audio Return Ch setting is
set to Auto. You must select the TV/CD input selector and your
TV must support the ARC function.
When choosing a connection format, note that the
receiver does not convert digital input signals for
analog line outputs and vice versa. For example,
audio signals connected to an optical or coaxial
digital input are not output by the analog VCR/DVR
OUT.
If signals are present at more than one input, the
inputs are selected automatically in the following
order of priority:
•HDMI
•Digital
•Analog
Connecting components with HDMI

The default input assignments are shown below. To
change assignments, see “Setting up HDMI input
(HDMI Input menu)” on page 22.
Using the audio return channel (ARC) function
The audio return channel (ARC) function lets an
HDMI-capable TV send the audio stream to the
receiver’s HDMI OUT jack. To use this function, you
must select the TV/CD input selector and your TV
must support the ARC function.
Connecting external components
