Connecting a home theater system with multiple devices
We recommend that you connect
the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT jack
to your TV’s HDMI 1/ARC jack.
In the following situations, the
HDMI cable will route Dolby Digital
audio to the AV receiver, so you do
not need to connect a separate
digital audio cable:
• When you have a game console
connected to one of your
TV’s HDMI jacks.
• When you watch a program
through an antenna or cable TV
connected to the ANT /CABLE jack.
