When your TV has the S-CENTER SPEAKER IN jack

When the receiver is connected to the S-CENTER SPEAKER IN jack of your TV, you can output the center part of the receiver sound from the TV speakers. By using this connection, TV audio such as dialogue can be made to sound as if it is coming out of the TV screen. (Acoustic Center Sync function)

To use this function, you need to connect your TV to the HDMI OUT A jack of the receiver. Also, set [TV Center Speaker Mode] to [Use TV as Center] in Auto Calibration.
