CONNECTING TO A TV
This section describes how to connect receiver output ports to a TV. You can connect the
receiver to a standard definition (SD) TV or a high definition TV (HDTV). Select one of the
following methods.
HDTV Digital Audio/Video Connections
The HDTV Digital Audio/Video connection provides high-quality audio and video to your
HDTV or HD Monitor in one cable.
1 Connect an HDTV Digital Audio/Video cable between the HDTV Digital Audio/Video
connection on the receiver and HDTV set or monitor. You may need to use an adapter.
2 Turn on your receiver and TV using the front panel buttons.
3 Confirm that you are getting a picture from the receiver. Consult your HDTV user’s guide if
you need to change your HDTV to display from the Digital Audio/Video input.
4 If you do not see a picture, see No Picture on the HDTV on page 71.
Note: In most cases connecting the Digital Audio/Video cable will provide plug-and-play
control of the monitor’s display resolution and other settings. However, your HDTV may
require selecting a different format to display from the receiver during setup.
5 Turn up the volume on your HDTV and confirm you have sound. If you don’t have sound,
your system may require you to connect audio (red and white) RCA-type cables between
the receiver Audio Outputs and audio input connections.
