Connect video devices such as BD/DVD players, cable or satellite 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.
HDMI connection
Connect a video device to the unit with an HDMI cable (not supplied).
NOTE
• This unit supports HDCP version 2.2, a copy protection technology.
The audio/video played on the video device will be output though the unit by switching 
the unit’s input to HDMI 1 or 2 using the HDMI 1 or 2 key on the remote control.
HINT
• Once the HDMI control function has been activated (p. 46), video and audio content from playback devices 
can be output from the TV even when this unit is off (HDMI signal pass-through).
• Use a 19-pin HDMI cable with the HDMI logo printed on it. A cable with a maximum length of 5 m (16 ft) is 
recommended to prevent degradation of signal quality.
• For playback of 3D and 4K video content, use a high-speed HDMI cable.
Coaxial connection
Connect a video device to this unit via a coaxial digital cable. Next, connect the video 
device’s video output to the TV’s video input.
The audio played on the video device will be output though the unit by switching the 
unit’s input to COAXIAL using the COAXIAL key on the remote control.
