HDMI Devices
If any of your source devices have HDMI connectors, using them will provide the best
possible video and audio performance quality. Since the HDMI cable carries both digital
video and digital audio signals, you do not have to make any additional audio connections
for source devices you connect via HDMI connectors.
Note: If you have a TV or other source device equipped with the HDMI Audio Return
Channel Function, its sound will be fed to the AVR via the HDMI Monitor Out connection’s
Audio Return Channel, and it will not require additional audio connections to the AVR.
Refer to the complete AVR 1700, AVR 170, AVR 170/230C Owner’s Manual, downloadable
