Connecting a TV compatible with the eARC or ARC function using an HDMI jack

Connect a TV to the HDMI OUT A jack.

You can listen to TV sound from the speakers connected to the receiver simply by connecting one HDMI cable. The HDMI cable outputs audio/video signals to the TV and inputs audio signals from the TV at the same time.

Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead) before connecting cables.

Note

  • You must turn on the eARC or ARC function to use this connection. Select [Audio Return Channel] - [eARC] or [ARC] in the [HDMI Settings] menu.
  • Be sure to use a Premium High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet, which supports bandwidths up to 18 Gbps. For video signals that require a high bandwidth such as 8K, 4K/120p, etc., be sure to use an Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable that supports bandwidths up to 48 Gbps.
  • Select the HDMI signal format suitable for the video signal band of the TV or AV device connected with the HDMI cable from the menu of the receiver.
  • HDMI-DVI conversion cable is not recommended. If you connect an HDMI-DVI conversion cable to a DVI-D device, you may lose audio and/or image. If the audio is not output correctly, connect the audio cable or digital connection cable and set the input jack again.
  • The TV side also needs to be set. Turn on the eARC or ARC function.

Hint

  • You can operate this receiver using the menu on the TV.
  • If the HDMI jack of the TV (labeled “eARC” or “ARC”) is already connected to another device, disconnect the device and connect the receiver.
