Connect video devices such as BD/DVD players, set-top boxes (STBs) and game consoles to the unit. Depending on the video/audio output jacks available on your video device,
choose one of the following connections. We recommend using an HDMI connection if the video device has an HDMI output jack.
Connect a video device to the unit with an HDMI cable (not supplied).
• This unit supports HDCP version 2.2, a copy protection technology.
The audio/video played on the video device will be output though the unit by switching
input to HDMI 1–3 using the HDMI 1–3 key on the remote control.
• Once the HDMI control function has been activated (p. 37), video and audio content from playback devices
can be output from the TV even when this unit is off (HDMI signal pass-through).
• Use a 19-pin HDMI cable with the HDMI logo printed on it. A cable with a maximum length of 5 m (16 ft) is
recommended to prevent degradation of signal quality.
• For playback of 3D and 4K video content, use a high-speed HDMI cable.
• When audio from the video device cannot be output via the HDMI jack, use an optical digital audio cable to
connect the video device to the unit via the optical digital output jack on the video device and the TV jack on
the unit. If the video device is connected to the unit in this way, change “Audio Assign” to “Optical” in option
menu (p. 88).
Connect a video device to this unit via a coaxial digital cable. Next, connect the video
device’s video output to the TV’s video input.
The audio played on the video device will be output though the unit by switching input
to AUX2 using the AUX 2 key on the remote control.
