Notes on connecting cables
Before connecting cables, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).
It is not necessary to connect all of the cables. Connect cables according to the availability of jacks on the connected device.
Be sure to use a Premium High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet, which supports bandwidths up to 18 Gbps. For video signals that require a high bandwidth such as 8K,
4K/120p, etc., be sure to use an Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable that supports bandwidths up to 48 Gbps. For details about the high bandwidth video format, see
supported by the receiver."
We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable. If you connect an HDMI-DVI conversion cable to a DVI-D device, the sound and/or image may be lost. Connect
separate audio cables or digital connecting cables, then reassign the input jacks if the sound is not output correctly.
When connecting optical digital cables, insert the plugs straight until they click into place.
Do not bend or tie optical digital cables.
When you use high bandwidth video formats such as 4K/60p, 4K/120p or 8K, be sure to set the HDMI signal format. For details, see

Hint
All of the digital audio jacks are compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz sampling frequencies.
If you want to connect several digital devices, but cannot find an unused input
In this case, reassign the input jacks.
