be a DVD player, cable box, or satellite receiver, and could
have HDMI output. A DVD player is used in this example.

Your setup may include additional devices with digital
surround sound connected directly to the A/V receiver.
These devices might be a DVD player plus a cable box
or satellite receiver.

More About Using an HDMI Connection

Audio from devices connected directly to the TV

can be heard from the TV speakers only. To send
audio to the A/V receiver from such devices, use
one of the optional audio connections shown in the
diagram on the opposite page . For example, use
an optional audio connection if you wish to use the
A/V receiver speakers to hear audio from:

The

-

ANT input

A game or camcorder connected to the conve-

-

nience input (INPUT 3).

In some circumstances, audio from a device con-

nected to the A/V receiver may not be passed over
the HDMI cable to the TV speakers. In these cases
you must use the A/V receiver speakers to hear
audio.

Before You Begin

To complete these steps you will need:

The remote controls for both the TV and the

A/V receiver.

An IR emitter cable available from Mitsubishi.

An HDMI-to-HDMI cable to connect the A/V

receiver to the TV and cables necessary to
connect devices to the A/V receiver.
