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.
