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.
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 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 is not required.
Setup
• When not using the ARC function, in the Home screen, set "System Setup" -
"Hardware" - "HDMI" - "Audio Return Channel (eARC supported)" (

(*)The ARC function and eARC function transmit the audio signals of the TV via
an HDMI cable, and plays the audio of the TV on this unit. To check if the TV
supports the ARC function and eARC function, refer to the instruction manual
of the TV, etc.
