Additionally, you can connect a high-quality home theater receiver or other surround sound decoder devices between your 
computer and TV using an HDMI connection.

To connect a high-quality digital sound output device between your computer and a TV

!

Before connecting the device to the computer, make sure the HDMI connection has been set up between the TV and the home theater receiver or 
surround sound decoder device first.

To hear sound from the device connected to the 

HDMI

 

OUTPUT

 port, you need to change the device for sound output. For the detailed instructions, see 

How do I change the sound output device?

Turn on the home theater receiver or surround sound decoder device and set its input to the HDMI input.

3

Plug one end of an HDMI cable (not supplied) to the HDMI input port on the home theater receiver or surround sound 
decoder device and the other end to the 

HDMI OUTPUT

 port on the computer.

4

Press the 

Fn

+

F7

 keys to change the display output to the connected TV.

✍

You can adjust the screen resolution of the connected TV with your computer. See

(page 185)

 for the detailed 

procedure.

With the HDMI connection, the volume can be adjusted by the connected audio device only. Your computer has no control over the output volume of
