ONNECTING TO THE
High-Definition Connection: HDMI Cable
The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connection provides high-quality audio
and video to your HDTV or HD Monitor using one cable. If your HDTV or monitor has an
HDMI connection available, this is the recommended connection.
1
Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI connection on the receiver.
2
Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI input of the HDTV set or monitor.
3
Turn on your receiver and TV. Change your TV to the correct input or source. Consult your
HDTV user's guide for assistance.
4
Confirm that you are getting a picture from the receiver.
5
If you do not see a picture, refer to No Picture on the TV.
Note: In most cases connecting the HDMI cable provides plug-and-play control of the
monitor's display resolution and other settings. However, your HDTV may require
selecting a different format to display from the receiver during setup.

Turn up the volume on your HDTV and confirm you have sound. If you don't have sound,
your system may require you to connect audio (red and white) RCA-type cables between
the receiver's Audio Outputs and the TV's audio input connections.

Refer to Setting Up to Display in HD to adjust the receiver's HD display settings to match
your TV.
