2. Connect the HDMI AV Component
This is an example of connection with an AV component that has an HDMI jack. With connection to an AV component that conforms with the CEC (Consumer
Electronics Control) standard, you can use features such as the HDMI CEC feature (*) that links with the input selector, and the HDMI Standby Through feature which allows you to play video and audio from AV components on the TV even when this unit is in standby mode.
0 To play 4K or 1080p video, use a high speed HDMI cable.
Setup
0 When "Yes" is selected for "4. Audio Return
Channel" in Initial Setup (P22), the HDMI CEC function and HDMI Standby Through function are automatically enabled. If "No, Skip" is selected, settings are required in the System Setup menu after Initial Setup is complete. Settings are made in "System Setup" - "Hardware" - "HDMI" in Home displayed by pressing on the remote controller.

3. Connect the Non-HDMI AV Component
This is an example of connection with an AV component that does not have an HDMI jack. Make the connections to the AV component to match the jacks it has. When video input connection is to the CBL/SAT jack, the audio input connection should also be to the CBL/SAT jacks, and so on, so that you connect the video input jacks to the jacks with the same name as the audio input jacks. Note that video signals input to the VIDEO IN jack will be converted to
HDMI video signals and then output from the HDMI OUT jack.
0 To enjoy digital surround playback in formats such as
Dolby Digital, you need to make a connection for audio signals with a digital coaxial cable or a digital optical cable.
0 It is possible to change assignment of the input jacks you see in the illustration at left, so you can also connect to any jack other than CBL/SAT. For details, see the
Advanced Manual.
