Connections

*
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.
*
When listening to an HDMI component through the AV
receiver, set the HDMI component so that its video can be seen
on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI
component connected to the AV receiver). If the TV power is off
or the TV is set to another input source, this may result in no
sound from the AV receiver or the sound may be cut off.
Connect your components to the appropriate jacks. The
default input assignments are shown below.
✔: Assignment can be changed (➔ page 48).

through your TV’s speakers, enable “HDMI Through”
