A HDMI cable connection
If your TV has an HDMI jack, connect to the TV with an HDMI cable. This will provide better image 
quality compared to other types of connections.
When connecting with an HDMI cable, you need to select the type of output signal when performing 
the Easy Setup (page 21).
For further HDMI settings, see “[HDMI Settings]” (page 50).
About Audio Return Channel
If your TV is compatible with the Audio Return Channel function, an HDMI cable connection also 
sends a digital audio signal from the TV. You do not need to make a separate audio connection for 
listening to TV sound. For setting the Audio Return Channel function, see [Audio Return Channel] 
(page 50).
B Video cord connection
If your TV does not have an HDMI jack, make this connection.
C Digital optical cord connection
This connection sends an audio signal to the system from the TV. To listen to TV sound via the system, 
perform this connection. With this connection, the system receives a Dolby Digital multiplex broadcast 
signal and you can enjoy multiplex broadcast sound.
 You can enjoy the TV sound by selecting the “TV” function (page 22).
 If your TV does not have a digital optical output jack, you can connect the unit and your TV with an audio cord for 
listening to TV sound via the system. For connection details, see “Connecting the other components” (page 16).

Getting Started
When a component you wish to connect to the system has an HDMI 
(OUT) jack
You can connect a component that has an HDMI (OUT) jack such as a set-top box/digital satellite 
receiver or PLAYSTATION®3, etc., with an HDMI cable. An HDMI cable connection can send both 
video and audio signals. By connecting the system and the component using an HDMI cable, you can 
enjoy high-quality digital picture and sound via the HDMI (IN 1) or HDMI (IN 2) jack.
 Video signals from the HDMI (IN 1/2) jacks are sent to the HDMI (OUT) jack only when the “HDMI1” or 
“HDMI2” function is selected.
 To send an audio signal from the HDMI (IN 1/2) jacks to the HDMI (OUT) jack, you may need to change the audio 
output setting. For details, see [Audio Output] in [Audio Settings] (page 48).
 You can change the audio input of a component that is connected to the HDMI (IN 1) jack to the TV (DIGITAL IN 
OPTICAL) jack. For details, see [HDMI1 Audio Input mode] in [HDMI Settings] (page 50). (European models 
only.)

 If you make connection above, set [Control for HDMI] in [HDMI Settings] of [System Settings] to [Off] (page 50).
 You can enjoy component sound by selecting the “AUDIO” function (page 22).
