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:

A game or camcorder connected to the conve- -
nience input (

the HDMI cable to the TV speakers. In these cases
you must use the A/V receiver speakers to hear
audio.
