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.
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
Connecting Your DCH Receiver to an A/V Receiver — Audio.
DVI does not provide audio. A separate audio connection must be made.
IEEE-1394
If your HDTV has an IEEE-1394 connector, you can use the IEEE-1394 for both your
video and audio connection:
• Connect an IEEE-1394 cable to the IEEE-1394 connector on your HDTV and DCH
receiver.
On-screen graphics will not be displayed when you are using the IEEE-1394
connection on the rear panel of the DCH receiver.
