Connection example 3: Connecting the processor with devices via an AV amplifier (ARC equipped TV)

See this connection example when you connect an AV amplifier between the processor and a TV. This connection is recommended when you want to connect 3 or fewer HDMI devices (BD device, etc.), except for an AV amplifier. When you connect a theater rack or a sound bar with HDMI jacks instead of an AV amplifier, this connection is recommended.

  1. Connect an AV amplifier, a TV, a BD/DVD device and/or a game device to the jacks on the rear of the DP-HW700 processor.
