system’s built-in disc player or from other 3D-capable source devices connected to the
BDS system’s HDMI Input connectors (see below). The system’s HDMI output connection
also contains an Audio Return Channel (ARC) that carries a digital audio signal from
your TV or video display back to the BDS. It allows you to listen to HDMI devices that are
connected directly to your TV (such as a digital TV tuner) without making an additional
connection from the device to the BDS system.

13. HDMI Inputs: You can connect up to three additional source devices to the BDS
system provided the source devices have HDMI connectors. The HDMI connection
transmits digital audio and video signals between devices, so you do not have to

connector. The BDS system will pass 3D video signals from 3D capable HDMI source
devices to the TV via the HDMI output connector.

Some HDMI inputs have special functionalities:
•
HDMI 1/MHL input: This input accepts both HDMI and MHL connections.
MHL can be used with many mobile smart devices to mirror their audio
and video content on the BDS system while powering the device (check the
owner’s manual of your device). This connector is also compatible with the
Roku Streaming Stick, which allows access to Roku services, controlled by
the BDS remote control.
