! In order to listening to HD audio with this receiver, connect an HDMI cable, and use analog video cable for
video signal input.
Depending on the player, it may not be possible to output video signals to both HDMI and other video output
(composite, etc.) simultaneously, and it may be necessary to make video output settings. Please refer to the
operating instructions supplied with your player for more information.
! If you want to listen to the sound of the TV over the receiver, connect the receiver and TV with audio cables
(page 24 ).
! If you use an optical digital audio cable or RCA (analog) audio cable, you’ll need to tell the receiver which digi-
tal input you connected the player to (see The Input Setup menu on page 39 ).

Connecting a satellite/cable receiver or other set-top box

Satellite and cable receivers, and terrestrial digital TV tuners are all examples of so-called ‘set-top boxes’.
When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the set-top box to (see The
Input Setup menu on page 39 ).
