Automatic Audio/Video Switching Over an
HDMI Connection

If your A/V receiver has an HDMI output, it may be
convenient to send video to the TV over a single HDMI
cable through the A/V receiver. The following setup
enables the A/V receiver to switch automatically to the
correct input when you select a device in the TV’s

Input

Selection menu. Depending on the capabilities of the
A/V receiver, the connected source devices can be
analog, digital, or a mixture or the two.

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 con-
nections shown in the diagram on the oppo-
site 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 directly
to the TV.

• To use NetCommand to supplement HDMI

control of a CEC-enabled A/V receiver, the
recommended setup sequence is:
1. Connect the HDMI cable.
2. Enable HDMI control (New Device Found

screen).

3. Connect the secondary digital audio

cable, if desired.

4. Perform NetCommand setup.
If you perform A/V receiver NetCommand
setup first and then later connect an HDMI
cable, the NetCommand setup will be lost.

• In some cases, audio from a device connected

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.
