Connecting a component with an HDMI® cable
If possible, connect your devices using HDMI
®
cables (not provided). They help to provide the
best video quality and also carry audio signals, so that only one cable is needed. For better
picture quality, we recommend that you use cables designated as High Speed HDMI
®
cables.
Tip: You might need to configure the component to send its signal through its HDMI
®
connector.
The connector labeled HDMI (ARC) has the additional ability to use the audio return channel to
send digital audio to a receiver or sound bar.
