HDMI Devices
If any of your source devices have HDMI connectors, using them will provide the best
possible video and audio performance quality. Since the HDMI cable carries both
digital video and digital audio signals, you do not have to make any additional audio
connections for source devices you connect via HDMI connectors.
Note: If you have a TV or other source device equipped with the HDMI Audio Return
Channel Function, you can feed its sound to the AVR via the HDMI Monitor Out
connection's Audio Return Channel, and it will not require additional audio connections
to the AVR. Refer to the complete AVR 3650, AVR 365, AVR 2650, AVR 265 Owner's
Manual, downloadable at www.harmankardon.com.
