Making Control with HDMI connections

You can use synchronized operation for a connected TV and up to five other components.

!Be sure to connect the TV’s audio cable to the audio input of this unit. When the TV and receiver are connected by HDMI connections, if the TV supports the HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) function, the sound of the TV is input to the receiver via the HDMI OUT terminal, so there is no need to connect an audio cable. In this case, set TV Audio at

HDMI Setup to via HDMI (see HDMI Setup on page 43 ).

For details, see Connecting your TV and playback components on page 16 .
