Connecting a TV

This section describes how to connect when your TV does not support HDMI connections.

For instructions on HDMI connections, see “Connecting an HDMI-compatible device” (vpage 8).

If the TV connected to this unit is equipped with an HDMI connector that supports ARC, digital audio signals from TV can be transmitted to this unit (vpage 9 “About ARC (Audio Return Channel) function”). The ARC function allows you to enjoy on this unit the audio from TV programs and HDMI devices directly connected to TV, without having to make a separate audio connection. For the ARC function, also see your TV’s manual.

To listen to TV audio through this device, use the optical digital connection.
