CONNECTING TO A TV
This section describes how to connect receiver output ports to a TV. You can connect the
receiver to a standard definition (SD) TV or a high definition TV (HDTV). Select one of the
following methods.

HDTV Digital Audio/Video Connections

The HDTV Digital Audio/Video connection provides high-quality audio and video to your
HDTV or HD Monitor in one cable.
1Connect an HDTV Digital Audio/Video cable between the HDTV Digital Audio/Video
connection on the receiver and HDTV set or monitor. You may need to use an adapter.
2Turn on your receiver and TV using the front panel buttons.
3Confirm that you are getting a picture from the receiver. Consult your HDTV user’s guide if
you need to change your HDTV to display from the Digital Audio/Video input.
4If you do not see a picture, see No Picture on the HDTV on page71.
Note: In most cases connecting the Digital Audio/Video cable will provide plug-and-play
control of the monitor’s display resolution and other settings. However, your HDTV may
require selecting a different format to display from the receiver during setup.
5Turn up the volume on your HDTV and confirm you have sound. If you don’t have sound,
your system may require you to connect audio (red and white) RCA-type cables between
the receiver Audio Outputs and audio input connections.
