➤ 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.106) in the “Setup” menu.

• HDMI Control is available only on the HDMI OUT 1 jack.

• Use an HDMI cable that supports ARC.

• By connecting a TV to the unit with an HDMI cable, any video input to the unit can be output to the TV, 

regardless of the method used to connect the video device to the unit. For details, see “Video signal flow” 
(p.136).

• 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.

• You can connect another TV or a projector by using the HDMI OUT 2 jack (p.30).

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.137).

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.
