HDMI

By connecting your receiver to the latest digital ampliers or home theatre systems with HDMI
connections, you will enjoy the best possible sound quality and multi-channel audio (depending
on broadcast), up to Dolby Digital Plus. Connect the HDMI output of the receiver to an input of your
amplier, and then connect the HDMI output of the amplier to your TV set. Select the correct input
on your amplier to watch and listen to programmes.

Fig.9
NOTE: We recommend the use of a hard disk drive USB 2.0 for recording and play
back of TV events.
For proper functioning of Timeshift and recording functions, a fast USB device (such as a hard
disk drive) is needed. Interrupted playback or a distorted picture during playback or Timeshift are
indications for a low device speed. STRONG cannot guarantee proper functioning of recording and or
Timeshift functions with all USB devices.
