Connect Your TV or Video Display

If your TV has an HDMI connector and you have HDMI source devices: use an hdMI
cable (not included) to connect it to the AVr's hdMI Monitor out connector. the AVr
1710 and AVr 171 provide hdMI connections for two tVs (only hdMI out 1 has Arc
and enables you to view the AVr's on-screen menus). this will provide the best possible
picture quality.
