[HDMI CONNECTION]
A simple 1-cable connection with a device having an HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) connector allows digital transfer of both digital video signals
and multi-channel audio signals. This is the best method to connect this unit. It can minimise the deterioration of image quality.
Use the HDMI cable (commercially available) for connection.
Connect the HDMI output jack of this unit to the HDMI input jack of TV.
This unit has three input terminals, AV1(TV) or AV2(DECODER) on the rear panel and AV3 on the front panel. Be sure that all the units are switched off
before making connections.
Switch the input selector on your TV to an appropriate external input channel. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual of your TV.

Note
• When you record a TV programme from a Satellite Box, you must

equipment.
If the audio format of the digital output
does not match the capabilities of your
receiver, the receiver will produce a
strong, distorted sound or no sound at
all.
