Connect video devices such as BD/DVD players, set-top boxes (STBs) and game 
consoles to the unit. Depending on the video/audio output jacks available on your video 
device, choose one of the following connections. We recommend using an HDMI 
connection if the video device has an HDMI output jack.

• If the combination of video/audio input jacks available on the unit does not match your video device, change 

its combination according to the output jacks of your device (p.25).

Connect a video device to the unit with an HDMI cable.

If you select the input source by pressing HDMI 1–5, the video/audio played back on 
the video device will be output from the unit.

• To watch videos input to the HDMI 1–5 jacks, you need to connect your TV to the HDMI OUT jack of the 

❑ MHL connection

Connect an MHL-compatible mobile device (such as smartphones) to the unit with an 
MHL cable. You can enjoy full HD videos and multichannel audio sources stored on the 
mobile device. The HDMI 5 jack of the unit enables you to input videos and audio 
directly from the mobile device to the unit.

If you select the input source by pressing HDMI 5, the video/audio played back on the 
mobile device will be output from the unit.

• To watch videos input to the HDMI 5/MHL jack, you need to connect your TV to the HDMI OUT jack of the 

unit (p.18 to 21).

• You need to prepare an MHL cable that match the jack on your mobile device.

• You can operate the mobile device using the menu operation keys, external device operation keys and 

numeric keys on the remote control. However, some features may not be compatible, depending on the 
mobile device or its application. In this case, operate the mobile device itself.

• If “Standby Through” (p.74) in the “Setup” menu is set to “On”, you can output mobile device videos/audio 

to the TV or operate the mobile device using the remote control of the unit even when the unit is in standby 
mode.

• The unit supplies power to the mobile device in the following conditions.

– The unit is turned on.
