Case 2: Automatic A/V Receiver Switching to a Surround Sound Device

Note: Use this setup to send digital surround sound from a device directly to your sound system.

A device can send digital surround sound such as Dolby Digital or DTS directly to the A/V receiver. The device might be a DVD player, cable box, or satellite receiver, and could have HDMI output. A DVD player is used in this example.

Your setup may include additional devices with digital surround sound connected directly to the A/V receiver. These devices might be a DVD player plus a cable box or satellite receiver.

More About Using an HDMI Connection

•Audio from devices connected directly to the TV can be heard from the TV speakers only. To send audio to the A/V receiver from such devices, use one of the optional audio connections shown in the diagram on the opposite page. For example, use an optional audio connection if you wish to use the A/V receiver speakers to hear audio from:

-The ANT input

-A game or camcorder connected to the conve- nience input (INPUT 3).

•In some circumstances, audio from a device con- nected to the A/V receiver may not be passed over the HDMI cable to the TV speakers. In these cases you must use the A/V receiver speakers to hear audio.

Before You Begin

To complete these steps you will need:

•The remote controls for both the TV and the A/V receiver.

•An IR emitter cable available from Mitsubishi.

•An HDMI-to-HDMI cable to connect the A/V receiver to the TV and cables necessary to connect devices to the A/V receiver.
