receiver, go to

 

Connecting Your DCH Receiver to an A/V Receiver — Audio

Note: Be sure to match up each signal to the same connection on the TV, otherwise 
the colors will not appear correctly on your TV.

 

HDMI 

If your TV has an HDMI input, this is for both audio and video if you are using the TV 
speakers. Connect an HDMI cable to the TV and to the HDMI connector on your 
DCH receiver. 

If your TV has a DVI input, use the DVI connection for your video:  

 

Connect a DVI-to-HDMI adapter or cable to the HDMI out connector on the DCH 
receiver and the 

DVI-HDTV

 connector on your TV. 

A DVI connection supports only the video connection between the DCH receiver and 
the HDTV. To connect the audio connections for your HDTV, proceed to the following 
page. To connect your audio connections for an A/V receiver, go to

 

Connecting Your 

DCH Receiver to an A/V Receiver — Audio

If you have an audio/video receiver and are not using your TV’s speakers, go to 

Connecting Your DCH Receiver to an A/V Receiver — Audio

DVI does not provide audio. A separate audio connection must be made. 

IEEE-1394 

If your HDTV has an IEEE-1394 connector, you can use the IEEE-1394 for both your 
video and audio connection:  

 

Connect an IEEE-1394 cable to the IEEE-1394 connector on your HDTV and DCH 
receiver. 

On-screen graphics will not be displayed when you are using the IEEE-1394 
connection on the rear panel of the DCH receiver. 

If you have an audio/video receiver and are not using your TV’s speakers, go to 

Connecting Your DCH Receiver to an A/V Receiver – Audio
