• This function is not available if the HDMI cable does not support ARC.

• When the audio in a broadcast is encoded in Dolby Digital and the “Digital Output Audio Format” on

your TV is set to PCM, we recommend that you change the setting to Dolby Digital. When the

setting on the TV is changed, you will experience better sound quality. (The TV menu may use
