In order to get sound from your TV to the STR-DH790 you have at least two choices: 1) Use the ARC enabled HDMI connection on the back of the TV (ARC=Audio Return Channel.) 2) If you don't have a TV with an ARC port, then use the optical audio output of your TV to connect to the optical audio input on the STR-DH790. You can also do standard analog output from your TV (red and white RCA jacks corresponding to left and right audio channels) to the STR-DH790, but if that's all you're doing, you didn't need to spend the money on an audio receiver!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Bill, Yes, If the receiver is connected to a TV's HDMI input jack compatible with eARC or ARC function, you can listen to TV sound from the speakers connected to the receiver without connecting an optical digital cable or an audio cable. Set the receiver by the following procedure to output the sound of the TV from the speakers connected to the receiver.
