Connection with the TV

Verify if the TV’s HDMI terminal is labeled “HDMI (ARC)”.

Connection differs depending on the label printed next to the HDMI terminal.

Labeled “HDMI (ARC)”: Connection [A]

Not labeled “HDMI (ARC)”: Connection [B]

∫What is ARC?

ARC is an abbreviation of Audio Return Channel, also known as HDMI ARC. It refers to one of the HDMI functions. When the main unit is connected to the terminal labeled “HDMI (ARC)” on the TV, the optical digital audio cable that is usually required in order to listen to sound from a TV is no longer required. Video, pictures and sound can be enjoyed with a single HDMI cable.

Make the connection.
