Connecting Playback Devices; Hdmi Connection; Optical Connection - Yamaha YSP-2500 Owner's Manual

Connecting playback devices

Connect video devices such as BD/DVD players, set-top boxes (STBs) and game consoles to the unit. Depending on the video/audio output jacks available on your video device,
choose one of the following connections. We recommend using an HDMI connection if the video device has an HDMI output jack.

If you select the input source by pressing the HDMI1–3 key, the video/audio played
back on the video device will be output from the unit.
• Once the HDMI control function has been activated (p. 37), video and audio content from playback devices
can be output from the TV even when this unit is off (HDMI signal pass-through).
• Use a 19-pin HDMI cable with the HDMI logo printed on it. A cable with a maximum length of 5 m is
recommended to prevent degradation of signal quality.
• Use an ARC-compatible HDMI cable. For playback of 3D and 4K video content, use a high-speed HDMI
cable.
