A/V Receiver Control: Automatic Audio and Video Switching via HDMI

If your A/V receiver has an HDMI output, you can use this procedure to set up control of the A/V receiver’s audio and video switching. The HDMI connection allows you to route video signals from multiple devices over a single cable to the TV. See the diagram on the next page. The connected devices can be analog, digital, or a mixture or the two.

More About Using an HDMI Connection

•Audio from devices connected directly to the TV can be heard from the TV speakers only. This is because audio signals are sent on the HDMI cable in one direction only—through the A/V receiver to the TV speakers.

To send audio to the A/V receiver from a device connected directly to the TV, use one of the optional audio connections shown in the diagram. For example, use an optional audio connection if you wish to use the A/V receiver speakers to hear audio from:

-- The ANT 1 or ANT 2 inputs

-- A device connected to the convenience input (input 4), such as a game or camcorder.

•In some circumstances, audio from a device con- nected to the A/V receiver may not be passed over the HDMI cable to the TV speakers. You must use the A/V receiver speakers to hear audio in these cases.

Before You Begin

To complete these steps you will need:

•The remote controls for both the TV and the A/V receiver.

•The IR emitter cable supplied with the TV.

•An HDMI-to-HDMI cable to connect the A/V receiver to the TV and cables necessary to connect devices to the A/V receiver.

1.Connect your audio/video devices to the A/V receiver. Note the name of the device connected to each A/V receiver input. This information will be needed later to set up NetCommand’s automatic input switching.

2.Connect the A/V receiver to the TV with an HDMI- to-HDMI cable.

3.Connect the IR emitter cable to the TV and position the IR emitter where it can send signals to the A/V receiver. See “IR Emitter Placement,” page 53.
