Note

▪ A digital optical cable connection allows audio from the TV to be played back on the unit. A digital optical

cable connection is not needed in the following cases:

– If your TV supports Audio Return Channel (ARC)

– If you will receive TV broadcasts only from the set-top box

▪ If you connect a TV that supports HDMI Control to the unit with an HDMI cable, you can control the unit’s

power and volume with the TV’s remote control.

To use HDMI Control and ARC, you need to configure the HDMI settings on the unit.

For details on the settings, see “Information on HDMI”

(p.66).

About Audio Return Channel (ARC)

▪ ARC allows audio signals to travel both ways. If you connect a TV that supports ARC to the unit with a

single HDMI cable, you can output video/audio to the TV or input TV audio to the unit.

▪ When using ARC, connect a TV with an HDMI cable that supports ARC.

Connecting video devices (such as BD/DVD players)

Connect video devices such as BD/DVD players, set-top boxes (STBs) and game

consoles to the unit. Depending on the video/audio output jacks available on your

video device, choose one of the following connections. We recommend using an

HDMI connection if the video device has an HDMI output jack.
