Connections
Connecting a TV or Video Display
use the supplied HDMI cable to connect the BDS receiver’s HDMI output to your tV/video
display’s HDMI input. the BDS receiver is HDMI version 1.4a with 3-D and 30/36-bit
Deep color.
note: If you have devices (such as an Internet modem) already connected directly
to your tV, you can feed their sound to the BDS receiver via the HDMI Monitor out
connector’s audio return channel, and they will not require additional connections to
the receiver.
tV
note: the HDMI connection will deliver both video and audio to your tV or video display.
We suggest disabling your tV or video display’s audio system to take full advantage of
your BDS receiver's superior audio reproduction.
Connecting Your HDMI Source Devices
If you have any source devices with HDMI connectors, using them will provide the
best possible video and audio performance quality. Since the HDMI cable carries both
digital video and digital audio signals, you do not have to make any additional audio
connections for devices you connect via an HDMI cable.
