A
Use this jack to connect to the HDMI input of the TV.
If your TV doesn’t support Audio Return Channel
(ARC)
*1
, you need to connect an optical digital cable
together with the HDMI cable to jack
F
.
Another TV can be connected to the
HDBaseT(TM) port by using TIA/EIA568B (both
ends) and CAT5e (or higher category)
compatible straight cable. We recommend an
STP cable. Connect the AV controller to your TV
using an HDBaseT™-enabled device. Refer to
your devices’ instruction manual for details.
*1
ARC is the function that carries the audio signal
from the TV to jack A. With ARC, a single HDMI
cable can connect the TV and the AV controller.
B
Use this jack to connect to your Blu-ray Disc/DVD
player, etc.
C
Use this jack to connect to the Satellite/cable set-
top box, etc.
Tip
• To listen to the audio of a component connected via HDMI
through your TV’s speakers, enable “HDMI Through”
(
➔ page 77) and set the AV controller to standby mode.
•
In the case of Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, if no sound is output
despite following the above-mentioned procedure, set your
Blu-ray Disc/DVD player’s HDMI audio settings to PCM.
• Connect a turntable (MM) that has a built-in phono preamp
to TV/CD IN, or connect it to PHONO IN with the phono
preamp turned off. If your turntable (MM) doesn’t have a
phono preamp, connect it to PHONO IN. If your turntable
has a moving coil (MC) type cartridge, you’ll need a
commercially available MC head amp or MC transformer to
connect to PHONO IN. See your turntable’s manual for
details. If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the
AV controller’s GND screw. With some turntables,
connecting the ground wire may produce an audible hum. If
this happens, disconnect it.
D
Use this jack to connect to the set top box/digital
video recorder, etc.
