hdMi

Monitor out connector: Connect the BD receiver’s HDMI
output to your TV’s HDMI input. Since the HDMI cable transmits both
video and audio to the TV, we recommend that you set the receiver’s HDMI
audio output to Off in the receiver’s Audio menu to take full advantage
of your home theater system’s superior audio performance. If your TV is
3D-capable, you can watch 3D content in 3D either from the receiver’s built-
in disc player or from other 3D-capable source devices connected to the
receiver’s HDMI Input connectors (BD300 receiver only, see below).
The receiver’s HDMI Monitor Out connection also contains an Audio
Return Channel that carries a digital audio signal from your TV or video
display back to the receiver. It allows you to listen to HDMI devices that
are connected directly to your TV (such as an Internet connection) without
making an additional connection from the device to the receiver. Note: You
must enable your TV’s Audio Return Channel output. Consult your TV’s
instruction manual for information.
hdMi input connectors (Bd300 receiver only): You can connect
up to two additional source devices that have HDMI connectors to the
BD300 receiver. The HDMI connection transmits digital audio and video
signals between devices, so you do not have to make any additional audio
connections for these devices. The receiver will pass 3D video signals from
3D-capable HDMI source devices to the TV via the HDMI Monitor Out
connector. See Connecting Your HDMI Source Devices, on page 12, for
more information.
composite Video output connector: If your TV does not have an
HDMI connection, connect it to the BD receiver’s Composite Video Output
connector.
BD300 receiver only: Video signals from source devices connected to
the receiver’s HDMI Input connectors will not appear at the receiver’s
Composite Video output connection. If you are connecting HDMI sources to
the receiver, you must use the receiver’s HDMI Monitor Out connection.
power cord connector: After you have made and verified all other
connections, plug the supplied AC power cord into this input and into an
unswitched AC outlet.
