shown in the illustration). If this happens, the magnetic field
produced by the transformers in this unit may cause a humming
noise from the speakers.
Important
• Before making or changing connections, switch off the power
and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.
• Before unplugging the power cord, switch the power into
standby.

HDMI cables

Both video and sound signals can be transmitted simultaneously
with one cable. If connecting the player and the TV via this receiver,
