Wireless LAN

When connecting to wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), follow the instructions in "Connecting the external antennas for Bluetooth / Wireless connectivity" and connect the antennas.

3) Connect the receiver to your TV with an HDMI cable

ARC (Audio Return Channel) and eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) support: If your TV supports ARC, it can send audio back to the AV receiver when using the TV's built-in video sources. ARC requires HDMI CEC to be enabled on your TV. Refer to your TV's Owner's Manual for setup instructions. If your TV supports eARC, it can also send back high-bitrate audio formats like Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS:X. Refer to your TV's Owner's Manual for enabling the eARC function.

4) Turn on the TV
