We recommend that you
connect the AV receiver’s
HDMI OUT jack to your TV’s
HDMI 2 (ARC) jack.
In the following situations, the
HDMI cable routes Dolby
Digital audio to the AV
receiver, so you do not need to
connect a separate digital
audio cable:
• When you have a game
console connected to one of
your TV’s HDMI jacks.
• When you watch a program
through an antenna or cable
TV connected to the
ANT/CABLE jack.
