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.
Note: Connecting your TV directly to the audio/video outputs of your receiver will assure a
more vivid picture and enhance your viewing enjoyment.
