the HDMI socket on the back of your
receiver marked HDMI and to any
socket marked HDMI IN on the back

high denition connection.
The video phono sockets are marked Y Pb Pr and require
a 3 phono to 3 phono component video lead (not supplied)

back of your TV.
This type of connection will also need a 2 phono to 2 phono
lead (not supplied) to carry a stereo audio signal from the
phono sockets marked L R on your receiver to those marked
AUDIO IN L R on your TV.
Note: HDMI connections carry both Audio and Video signals,
if you want to play Audio through your HI-FI system, connect
the Digital Audio Out phono socket on your receiver marked
COAXIAL to your Hi-Fi using a digital coaxial lead. You will
need to remember to mute the volume on your TV.
3). To ensure the best image quality, set the video output
mode to HDTV, press the “FORMAT” button to select video
