*1 If your TV doesn’t support Audio Return Channel (ARC), you need to connect an optical digital cable together with the HDMI cable to the AV receiver.

Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your AV components.

Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all AV connections.

Analog RGB

This is a conventional analog interface to connect a PC and a display device (also called D-Sub or D-subminiature).

Composite video

The AV receiver does not support SCART plugs.

The AV receiver’s optical digital jacks have shutter-type covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and close when it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way.

Caution

To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.
