2.Connect the audio output from the TV to the OPTICAL IN 2 jack of the AV receiver using an optical digital cable.

Note

When the audio return channel (ARC) function is used with an ARC capable TV, this connection is not necessary (page 55).

3.Connect the HDMI output of the Blu-ray Disc/DVD player/recorder to the HDMI IN 1 jack of the AV receiver.

Note

It is necessary to assign the HDMI input when connecting the Blu-ray Disc/DVD player/recorder to other jacks (page 42). Do not assign the components connected to the HDMI IN to the TV/CD input at this time. Appropriate CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) operation can not be guaranteed.

2 Change each item in the “HDMI” menu according to the following settings:

HDMI Control(RIHD): On

Audio Return Channel (ARC): Auto

See details of each setting (pages 54, 55).

3 Confirm the settings.

1.Turn on the power for all connected components.

2.Turn off the power of the TV, and confirm that the power of the connected components is turned off automatically with the link operation.

3.Turn on the power of the Blu-ray Disc/DVD player/recorder.

4.Start playback on the Blu-ray Disc/DVD player/recorder, and verify the following.

The AV receiver automatically turns on, and selects the input to which the Blu-ray Disc/DVD player/recorder is connected.

The TV automatically turns on, and selects the input to which the AV receiver is connected.

5.Following the operating instructions of the TV, select “Use the TV speakers” from the menu screen of the TV, and confirm that the audio is output from the speakers of the TV, and not from the speakers connected to the AV receiver.

6.Select “Use the speakers connected from the AV receiver” from the menu screen of the TV, and confirm that the audio is output from the speakers connected to the AV receiver, and not from the TV speakers.

Note

Perform the above operations when you use the AV receiver for the first time, when the settings of each component are changed, when the main power of each component is turned off, when the power cable is disconnected from the power supply, or when there has been a power outage.

4 Operate with the remote controller.

For buttons that can be operated (page 65).

Note

Audio from DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD may not output from the TV speakers. You will be able to output the audio from the TV speakers by setting the audio output of the DVD player to 2ch PCM. (It may not be possible depending on the player models.)

Even if you set to output audio on the TV speakers, audio will be output from the speakers connected to the AV receiver when you adjust the volume or switch the input on the AV receiver. To output audio from the TV speakers, re- do the operations on the TV.

In case of an pconnection with uand uaudio control compatible components, do not connect the RI cable at the same time.

On the TV, when you select anything other than the HDMI jack to which the AV receiver is connected, the input on the AV receiver will be switched to “TV/CD”.

The AV receiver will automatically power on in conjunction when it determines it to be necessary. Even if the AV receiver is connected to an pcompatible TV or player/recorder, it will not power on if it is not necessary. It may not power on in conjunction when the TV is set to output audio from the TV.

Linked functions with the AV receiver may not work depending on the component model connected. In such cases, operate the AV receiver directly.
