Connecting DHT-S514 to your television
DHT-S514 can be connected to your system one of five ways. In order of preference they:
q First Choice – HDMI Input (ARC)—If your television has an ARC (audio return channel) HDMI connector, connect it to one of the HDMI
Input of the DHT-S514. This will provide the best sound and several other benefits.
w Second Choice – HDMI Input (without ARC)—Connect to a TV that is not compatible with the ARC (audio return channel) function using
the HDMI cable and audio input cable (e – t).
e Third Choice – Digital Optical Input (S/PDIF)—A digital optical cable connection from the television also provides excellent sound.
r Fourth Choice – Digital Coaxial Input (RCA jack)—Another way to supply a digital audio signal to the DHT-S514.
t Fifth Choice – Analog Input (3.5 mm stereo mini plug)—You can enjoy the sound of the DHT-S514 with equipment that doesn’t have
digital signal outputs by connecting them to the analog input.
All five inputs are all selected by the television button on DHT-S514’s front panel or remote, but which is active is determined by auto-priority. If
only one input is receiving a signal, that input will play. If more than one input is receiving a signal, the order of priority is HDMI, Digital Optical,
Digital Coaxial and Analog.
HDMI Connection
You can enjoy high quality audio and video playback by connecting this unit and a TV or this unit and a device such as a Blu-ray disc recorder or
game console using a HDMI cable to transmit high resolution digital video signals and Blu-ray disc audio signals.
• ARC (Audio return channel) function
The TV audio can be played back through this unit using the HDMI cable used to connect this unit to the TV (z1).
z1: The TV also needs to be compatible with the ARC function.
• HDMI control function
You can switch off the power, switch input source and adjust the volume of this unit using the TV (z2) remote control.
z2: The TV also needs to be compatible with the HDMI control function. This function may not operate due to connected devices or settings.
Setting the HDMI Control Function
When the connection to the TV is the same as q or w, enable the HDMI control function on the TV.
If the TV is compatible with the ARC function, enable the ARC function on the TV.
(See the TV Owner’s Manual for details.)
Disable Your Television’s Speakers
When the connection to the TV is the same as e – t, disable your television’s built-in speakers when using DHT-S514. Usually, this is done
with an on-screen setup menu on your television. Look for an “Audio” or “Sound” sub-menu, and a “Speakers Off”, “Disable Speakers”, “External
Speakers” or similar menu item. Some televisions have a switch on the rear panel to disable the built-in speakers.
Don’t leave the television speakers on so that both systems play simultaneously;
this will not yield sound that is louder or “better.”
