If your TV doesn’t support Audio Return Channel (ARC), you
need to connect an optical digital cable together with the
HDMI cable to the AV receiver.
• Before making any AV connections, read the manuals
supplied with your AV components.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and
double-checked all AV connections.
• Push plugs in all the way to make
good connections (loose connections
can cause noise or malfunctions).
• To prevent interference, keep audio
and video cables away from power
cords and speaker cables.
