➤ Connecting a TV

En

Connect a TV to the unit so that video input to the unit can be output to the TV.

You can also enjoy playback of TV audio on the unit.

The connection method varies depending on the functions and video input jacks 
available on your TV.

Refer to the instruction manual of the TV and choose a connection method.

■

Connect the TV to the unit with an HDMI cable.

• The following explanation is based on the assumption that you have not changed the “HDMI” parameters 

(p.74) in the “Setup” menu.

• Use an HDMI cable that supports ARC.

• By connecting a TV to the unit with an HDMI cable, you can navigate the iPod, USB storage device and 

network sources, or configure the settings of the unit with the menu displayed on the TV.

• If you will connect any video device to the AV 1–2 (COMPONENT VIDEO) jacks of the unit, you also 

need to connect the TV to the MONITOR OUT (COMPONENT VIDEO) jacks (p.22).

• If you will connect any video device to the AV 3–6 (VIDEO) jacks or the VIDEO AUX (VIDEO) of the 

unit, you also need to connect the TV to the MONITOR OUT (VIDEO) jack (p.22).

• Connect the set-top box to the unit in the same way as playback devices (p.23). If you will receive TV 

broadcasts only from the set-top box, you do not need to make an audio cable connection between the 
TV and the unit or configure the ARC setting.

HDMI Control allows you to operate external devices via HDMI. If you connect a TV 
that supports HDMI Control to the unit with an HDMI cable, you can control the unit’s 
power and volume with the TV’s remote control. You can also control playback 
devices (such as an HDMI Control-compatible BD/DVD player) connected to the 
unit with an HDMI cable. For details, see “HDMI Control” (p.100).

ARC allows audio signals to travel both ways under HDMI Control. If you connect a 
TV that supports HDMI Control and ARC to the unit with a single HDMI cable, you 
can output video/audio to the TV or input TV audio to the unit.
