The digital audio/video signals from the set-top box or BD/DVD

player are input to this unit.

2 HDMI cable (sold separately)

Digital video from the set-top box or BD/DVD player is displayed

NOTE

• Use a 19-pin HDMI cable with the HDMI logo printed on it. A cable with a maximum

length of 5 m (16 ft) is recommended to prevent degradation of signal quality.

• Use of a flat HDMI cable may make installing the center unit difficult because the

cable will be bent by the bottom of the center unit when connected. Confirm the layout

and position of jacks on the center unit before choosing an appropriate HDMI cable.

• This unit supports HDCP version 2.2, a copy protection technology. For playback of

4K video, connect the unit to the HDMI input jack (one compatible with HDCP 2.2) on

an HDCP 2.2-compliant TV, and to the HDMI output jack on a HDCP 2.2-compliant

BD/DVD player.

• Use a premium high-speed HDMI cable for playback of 3D and 4K video content.

Audio Return Channel (ARC) supported TV

• Connect an HDMI cable to the audio return channel supported jack

(the jack with “ARC” indicated) on TV.

• Video and audio content from playback devices can be output from

the TV even when this unit is off (HDMI signal pass-through).

What is Audio Return Channel (ARC)?

In order for the unit to play audio from a TV, the TV must usually be

connected to the unit via an audio cable as well as an HDMI cable.

If, however, the TV supports Audio Return Channel (ARC), TV

audio signals can be input to the unit via the HDMI cable that

outputs video signals from the unit to the TV.
