Optional Network Connection

If connecting the AVR to a wired network, connect an Ethernet cable (not included) between the AVR and your router. Do not connect the Ethernet cable if you are connecting the AVR to a wireless network.

The antennas are required for both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi functions.

2. Connect the Power Cord

Place the AVR near your TV and connect the power cord.

3. Connect the AVR to Your TV

Using a high-quality HDMI cable, connect one end to the HDMI port labeled "eARC" or "ARC" on your TV. Connect the other end to the HDMI OUT MONITOR 1 port on your AVR.

What is ARC and eARC?

Audio Return Channel (ARC) or eARC sends audio back to the AVR using the same HDMI cable that sends video from your AVR to your TV. This allows your AVR to process sound from your TV's built-in tuner and apps. TVs with an Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) port provide additional support for high bitrate multichannel audio (Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, and DTS:X). Refer to your TV owner's manual for details about eARC support.

* For 4K TVs, use an HDMI cable labeled "High Speed" and "with Ethernet".

* For 8K TVs, use an HDMI cable labeled "Ultra High Speed".

4. Turn on the TV
