Connecting to TV (with HDMI)
■
Caution:
●
Turn off all other equipment before making this connection.
●
Set the TV at low volume before turning on the system.
Notes:
●
This unit supports HDMI which enables ARC (Audio Return Channel).
●
To enable ARC make sure to use High Speed HDMI™ cable (with ARC).
●
This ARC feature requires TV that supports ARC. Refer the operation manual of the TV to determine which terminal supports ARC.
●
To listen to the sound from a non-ARC-compatible TV, connect the audio output from TV to this system's AUDIO IN (TV)
terminal. (refer page 9)
●
This unit can be operated (power on/off or volume up/down) via a TV or similar component which supports HDMI CEC
(Consumer Electronics Control). If this does not work, it does not mean this system is faulty. Refer to the operation manual
of the respective component on how to activate the CEC.
Example: Go to the Menu of the component to search and enable the CEC. Different brands may have different naming for
the CEC. For Sharp LCD TV, it is named as AQUOS LINK.
●
To listen to the sound from this system, you will need to adjust settings within the TV menu.
For details, refer to the operation manual of the TV.
●
If you are unable to select external speaker setting from the TV menu (E.g. For Sharp LCD TV, it is named as AQUOS AUDIO
SP), turn the CEC OFF and ON again.
●
Make sure the LCD TV Audio output setting is set to PCM, not other formats such as Dolby Digital, DTS, etc.
●
To enjoy 3D images, this system must be connected to a 3D-compatible TV and components (3D BD player, etc.) via High
Speed HDMI cables. Put on the 3D glasses, otherwise 3D images may not be viewed properly.
