Connecting a home theater system with multiple devices
We recommend that you connect
the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT jack to
your TV’s HDMI 2 (ARC) jack.
In the following situations, the
HDMI cable will route Dolby Digital
audio to the AV receiver, so you do
not need to connect a separate
digital audio cable:
• When you have a game console
connected to one of your TV's
HDMI jacks.
• When you watch a program
through an antenna or cable TV
connected to the ANT/CABLE
jack.
Normal:
Displays the original 4:3 aspect ratio with vertical black bars on the left and
right side of the screen.
Zoom:
Expands the image to ll the screen. The top and bottom of the image may
be cropped.
Wide:
Use this option to view content recorded in a 16:9 (wide-screen) aspect
ratio.
Cinema:
Stretches the image at the edges, but keeps a clear image in the center.
Auto:
Automatically adjusts the image based on the screen size and the TV
program. Note: Auto is only available when Auto Zoom in the CHANNELS
menu is set to On.
