TV
If your TV and DVD player or satellite/cable set-top box have HDMI jacks, you can
connect them via the AV Receiver. Using HDMI cables (not included), connect the AV
Receiver’s HDMI OUT jack to an HDMI input on your TV, and connect your DVD player
and satellite/cable set-top box to the AV Receiver’s DVD and DTV/CBL HDMI jacks,
respectively, as shown.
Note:
Audio signals received by the HDMI inputs will be output by the HDMI-capable TV’s
speakers, not the speakers connected to the AV Receiver. To listen to an HDMI-capable
component through the AV Receiver’s speakers, you must make an analog or digital audio
connection in addition to the HDMI connection, and mute the sound on the TV.
See the owner’s manuals for more information about HDMI.
• Connect the AV Receiver, Subwoofer, and your other AV components to suitable AC outlets.
• Turn on the AV Receiver first, then the Subwoofer and your other AV components.
• Install the batteries in the AV Receiver’s remote control.
• See the relevant owner’s manuals for full operating instructions.
Time to enjoy your Yamaha home theater system!
Now, relax and enjoy the great sound of your Yamaha home theater system.
