2 onnecting a TV
Connecting a TV that supports Audio Return Channel (ARC)
Connect the TV, which supports Audio Return Channel (ARC), to the unit with an HDMI cable (sold separately).

What is Audio Return Channel (ARC)?
In order for the unit to play audio from a TV, the TV must usually be connected to the unit via an audio cable as well as an HDMI cable. If, however, the TV supports Audio Return Channel (ARC), TV audio signals can be input to the unit via the HDMI cable that outputs video signals from the unit to the TV.
NOTE
- Connect an HDMI cable to the audio return channel supported jack (the jack with "ARC" indicated) on TV.
-
Enable the HDMI control function of the unit to activate the Audio Return Channel (ARC). For details, see the following:
-
"Configuring the HDMI control function" (p.37)
-
Use a 19-pin HDMI cable with the HDMI logo printed on it. A cable with a maximum length of 5m (16 ft) is recommended to prevent degradation of signal quality.
Use a premium high-speed HDMI cable for playback of 3D and 4K video content. - The unit supports HDCP version 2.2, a copy protection technology. For playback of 4K video, connect the unit to the HDMI input jack (one compatible with HDCP 2.2) on an HDCP 2.2-compliant TV.
- The TV input jack cannot be used when a TV that supports the Audio Return Channel is connected to the unit.
Connecting a TV that does not support Audio Return Channel (ARC)
Connect the TV to the unit with an HDMI cable (sold separately) and an optical digital audio cable (supplied).

NOTE
- Use a 19-pin HDMI cable with the HDMI logo printed on it. A cable with a maximum length of 5m (16 ft) is recommended to prevent degradation of signal quality.
Use a premium high-speed HDMI cable for playback of 3D and 4K video content. - The unit supports HDCP version 2.2, a copy protection technology. For playback of 4K video, connect the unit to the HDMI input jack (one compatible with HDCP 2.2) on an HDCP 2.2-compliant TV.
- When connecting the supplied optical digital audio cable, be sure to remove the cap and check the plug's orientation before connecting it.
- If the TV has no optical jack, connect the audio output jack on the TV to the ANALOG input jacks on the unit. For details, see the following:
- "Analog connection with a playback device" (p.25)
