To ARC/eARC TV
If the TV supports the ARC (Audio Return Channel) function(*), use only the 
HDMI cable to connect with the TV. Use the ARC-compatible HDMI IN jack of 
the TV for connection. You connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI OUT MAIN jack 
labeled "ARC" on the receiver side.
• When a TV compatible with the eARC function is connected, use an HDMI 
cable that supports Ethernet.
To Non-ARC TV
If the TV does not support the ARC (Audio Return Channel) function(*), connect 
an HDMI cable and digital optical cable. If the TV does not have a DIGITAL
OPTICAL OUT jack, you can use an analog audio cable to connect with the
AUDIO IN TV jack.
•  If you use a cable set-top box, etc. connected to the input jack of this unit to 
watch TV (without using a TV’s built-in tuner), connection with a digital optical 
cable or analog audio cable is not required.
