Connecting the 8240HD to an HDTV With an HDMI Connector

WARNING:

Electric shock hazard! Unplug all electronic devices before connecting or disconnecting any device cables to the 8240HD.

Important Note Regarding the HDMI Interface on the 8240HD

The HDMI interface will automatically configure the audio output for a format supported by the television. Because not all TVs support a Dolby Digital input, the HDMI interface may automatically select a 2-channel stereo audio configuration instead of Dolby Digital. When the output is configured for 2-channel audio, this configuration is carried over to the other digital audio outputs of the 8240HD. This configuration prevents your home theater system or Dolby Digital decoder from providing the full Dolby Digital surround sound effect.

On the 8240HD, you may override the automatic selection of audio by the HDMI interface by completing the following steps.

1.Press SETTINGS twice on the remote control to open the General Settings menu.

2.Press MOVE UP or MOVE DOWN to select the option Audio: Digital Out.

3.Press MOVE RIGHT to select Dolby Digital. This setting will send Dolby Digital audio to the HDMI, DIGITAL AUDIO OUT, and OPTICAL AUDIO OUT connectors on the 8240HD.

Note: If the TV (video/audio monitor) connected to the 8240HD using HDMI is not Dolby Digital

capable, it may not produce audio through its speakers when the Audio: Digital Out setting on the

8240HD is set to Dolby Digital. You can either switch the Audio: Digital Out setting back to HDMI when you are not using the home theater or Dolby Digital decoder, or you can connect the baseband audio outputs (OUT 1 Audio Left and Right) to the TV.
