receiver, go to Connecting Your DCH Receiver to an A/V Receiver — Audio.
Note: Be sure to match up each signal to the same connection on the TV, otherwise
the colors will not appear correctly on your TV.
HDMI
If your TV has an HDMI input, this is for both audio and video if you are using the TV
speakers. Connect an HDMI cable to the TV and to the HDMI connector on your
DCH receiver.
If your TV has a DVI input, use the DVI connection for your video:
Connect a DVI-to-HDMI adapter or cable to the HDMI out connector on the DCH
receiver and the DVI-HDTV connector on your TV.
A DVI connection supports only the video connection between the DCH receiver and
the HDTV. To connect the audio connections for your HDTV, proceed to the following
page. To connect your audio connections for an A/V receiver, go to Connecting Your
DCH Receiver to an A/V Receiver — Audio.
If you have an audio/video receiver and are not using your TV’s speakers, go to
