Figure 11. Connecting the TV to an A/V receiver
Note:
On rare occasions, an HDMI signal may be •
copy-restricted and cannot be output from
the TV as a digital signal. To hear these copy-
protected signals through the A/V receiver, use
the connection for an analog A/V receiver.
Check the A/V receiver’s Owner’s Guide for •
information concerning use of the digital input
and switching between digital sound and
analog stereo sound from the TV.
A/V Receiver with HDMI Output
Required: One HDMI-to-HDMI cable
This option allows you to view content from devices
connected to an A/V receiver. The A/V receiver can
send audio and video to the TV over a single HDMI
cable. You can use an HDMI connection as described
here in addition to an audio connection from the TV’s
audio output.
You may be able to use the TV’s remote control (with
slide switch set to TV ) to operate connected CEC-
enabled HDMI devices. Experiment with your equip-
ment to determine which functions are available to the
TV’s remote control. See Appendix E, “NetCommand
HDMI Control of CEC Devices” on page 77.
736 or 835 Series TV: This setup allows you to use
NetCommand-controlled audio and video switching over
the HDMI cable. See “A/V Receiver Control: Automatic
Audio and Video Switching via HDMI” on page 61.
