A/V Receiver Control: Automatic Audio
and Video Switching via HDMI
If your A/V receiver has an HDMI output, you can use
this procedure to set up control of the A/V receiver’s
audio and video switching. The HDMI connection
allows you to route video signals from multiple devices
over a single cable to the TV. See the diagram on this
page. The connected devices can be analog, digital, or
a mixture or the two.

More About Using an HDMI Connection with this
Setup
Audio from devices connected directly to the TV •
can be heard from the TV speakers only. This is

in one direction only—from the A/V receiver to the
TV speakers.

connected directly to the TV, use one of the optional
