Connecting the TV and players
Important: The power cord must be connected only after all
other connections are completed.
HDMI Cable Connection
The unit has many HDMI jacks on its rear panel and each
of them corresponds to an input selector button of the same
name on the front panel. For example, a Blu-ray Disc player
will be connected to the IN 1 jack and the BD/DVD button
on the front panel will be used to listen to the playback
sound (if the player is CEC compliant, input will be switched
automatically). If you add another Blu-ray Disc player, you
can use any other jack than IN 1. It is possible to change
assignment of the input jacks and input selector buttons.
For how to make settings, see the Advanced Manual.
To connect the TV and the unit, connect the HDMI OUT MAIN
jack of the unit and the HDMI IN jack of the TV using an HDMI
cable. With this connection, it becomes possible to display the
setting screen of the unit on the TV or transmit video/audio
signals from the player to the TV. On an ARC (Audio Return
Channel) compatible TV, simply making this connection
enables transmission of TV sound to a power amplifier
connected with this unit. If your TV does not support ARC, you
need, in addition to the HDMI OUT MAIN jack connection, a
digital optical cable connection between the digital audio out
optical jack of the TV and the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL jack of the
unit or an analog audio (RCA) cable connection between the
audio output jack of the TV and the TV/CD analog audio input
jack of the unit.

Another TV can be connected to the HDMI OUT SUB jack.
In this case, press Monitor Out on the main unit several
times to display "SUB" or "MAIN+SUB" and select the
output method. You can also enjoy using Zone function with
the HDMI OUT ZONE 2 jack. For details, see the section 5
"Using the multi-zone function" of "Step 3: Playing Back".
To use the ARC function, connect to the ARC
compatible HDMI jack of the TV and make an
appropriate setting on the unit. See "2nd Step :
Source Connection" of "Step 2: Setting Up".
