Audio Return Channel (ARC)
ARC allows you to input TV audio to the unit with the HDMI cable which transmits video 
signal to the TV.
Check the following after the HDMI Control settings.
1
Select a TV program with the TV remote control.
2
Check that the input source of the unit will be automatically switched 
to “AUDIO 1” and the TV audio will be played back on the unit.
If you cannot hear the TV audio, check the following:
– “ARC” (p.118) in the “Setup” menu is set to “On”.
– The HDMI cable is connected to the ARC-compatible HDMI jack (HDMI jack
marked “ARC”) on the TV.
Some HDMI jack on the TV is not compatible with ARC. For details, refer to the 
instruction manual for the TV.
• If the audio is interrupted while using ARC, set “ARC” (p.118) in the “Setup” menu to “Off” and use an 
audio cable (digital optical or stereo pin cable) to input TV audio to the unit (p.26).
• When using ARC, connect a TV with an HDMI cable that supports ARC.
• “AUDIO 1” is set as TV audio input at the factory. If you have connected any external device to the 
AUDIO 1 jacks, use “TV Audio Input” (p.117) in the “Setup” menu to change the TV audio input 
assignment. To use the SCENE function (p.56), you also need to change the input assignment for 
SCENE (TV).
HDMI signal compatibility
Audio signals
Video signals
The unit is compatible with the video signals of the following resolutions:
• When CPPM copy-protected DVD-Audio is played back, video/audio signals may not be output, depending 
on the type of the DVD player.
• The unit is not compatible with HDCP-incompatible HDMI or DVI devices. For details, refer to the instruction
