Making Connections
Connect Your TV or Video Display
If your TV has an HDMI connector and you have HDMI source devices: Use an HDMI
cable (not included) to connect it to the AVR's HDMI Monitor Out connector. The AVR
171 OS and AVR 171 S provide HDMI connections for two TVs (only HDMI Out 1 has ARC
and enables you to view the AVR's on-screen menus). This will provide the best possible
picture quality.
