More About Using an HDMI Connection
Audio from devices connected directly to the TV •
can be heard from the TV speakers only. To send
audio to the A/V receiver from such devices, use
one of the optional audio connections shown in the
diagram on the opposite page . For example, use
an optional audio connection if you wish to use the
A/V receiver speakers to hear audio from:
The -
ANT
input
A game or camcorder connected to the conve- -
nience input (
INPUT 3

In some circumstances, audio from a device con-•
nected to the A/V receiver may not be passed over
the HDMI cable to the TV speakers. In these cases
you must use the A/V receiver speakers to hear
audio.

The remote controls for both the TV and the •
A/V receiver.
An IR emitter cable available from Mitsubishi.•
An HDMI-to-HDMI cable to connect the A/V •
