Video Switching via HDMI
If your A/V receiver has an HDMI output, it may be
convenient to route video signals from multiple devices
over a single cable to the TV. Use this procedure to set
up NetCommand control of the A/V receiver's audio
and video switching over a single HDMI cable. The
connected source devices can be analog, digital, or a
mixture or the two. When this setup is complete, you
can use the TV's Activity menu to select a video device
connected to the A/V receiver.

be heard from the TV speakers only. To send audio

3. Connect the secondary digital audio cable, if
desired.
4. Perform NetCommand setup.

A/V receiver may not be passed over the HDMI cable
to the TV speakers. In these cases you must use the
A/V receiver speakers to hear audio.
