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 will route 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 IN
jack.
Setting up and using your remote control
1 Press the release button on the back of the remote control to remove the
battery compartment cover.
2 Insert two AAA batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure that the
+ and – symbols on the batteries match the + and – symbols in the battery
compartment.
3 Replace the cover.
