When connecting to an AV receiver
with ARC function, we recommend
that you connect the AV receiver’s
HDMI OUT jack to your TV’s HDMI2
(ARC) jack by using an HDMI-ARC
compliant cable.
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:
• Have a game console connected
to one of your TV’s
HDMI 1/HDMI3 jacks.
• When you watch a program
through an antenna or cable
TV connected to the
ANT/CABLE jack.
