Method 4 – HDMI Connection to Receiver and TV
• HDMI can transmit both audio and video signals over a single cable. If you have an HDMI-
capable receiver that can support HDMI audio, you can simply run an HDMI cable from the
player to your receiver and enable HDMI audio on the receiver (see your receiver’s owners’
manual for more information). The receiver usually has an HDMI output that you can connect to
your TV to pass the video signal.
NOTE
HDMI is a wonderful thing. A single cable can transport both audio AND video from your
player to your display. Be aware, however, that HDMI is an evolving standard, and there
could be compatibility issues. A receiver that supports audio input over HDMI is required.
Some receivers offer HDMI ports solely for video switching. If your receiver does not have
audio input capability, please read the following sections regarding other connection
methods.
In order to play multi-channel audio for all formats, the receiver must support HDMI v1.1 or
later. For Blu-ray Disc, a receiver that supports HDMI v1.3 with decoding capability for Dolby
TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio is preferred. Please check the specifications of your
receiver to ensure that it meets the requirements.
