A HDMI cable connection

If your TV has an HDMI jack, connect to the TV with an HDMI cable. This will provide better image quality compared to other types of connections. When connecting with an HDMI cable, you need to select the type of output signal when performing the Easy Setup (page 21). For further HDMI settings, see “[HDMI Settings]” (page 49).

About Audio Return Channel

If your TV is compatible with the Audio Return Channel function, an HDMI cable connection also sends a digital audio signal from the TV. You do not need to make a separate audio connection for listening to TV sound. For setting the Audio Return Channel function, see [Audio Return Channel] (page 49).

B Video cord connection

If your TV does not have an HDMI jack, make this connection.

C Digital optical cord connection

This connection sends an audio signal to the system from the TV. To listen to TV sound via the system, perform this connection. With this connection, the system receives a Dolby Digital multiplex broadcast signal and you can enjoy multiplex broadcast sound.

• You can enjoy the TV sound by selecting the “TV” function (page 22).

• If your TV does not have a digital optical output jack, you can connect the unit and your TV with an audio cord for listening to TV sound via the system. For connection details, see “Connecting the other components” (page 16).

Getting Started

Connecting the other components

When a component you wish to connect to the system has an HDMI (OUT) jack

You can connect a component that has an HDMI (OUT) jack such as a set-top box/digital satellite receiver or PLAYSTATION®3, etc., with an HDMI cable. An HDMI cable connection can send both video and audio signals. By connecting the system and the component using an HDMI cable, you can enjoy high-quality digital picture and sound via the HDMI (IN 1) or HDMI (IN 2) jack.
