Connection Tips and Video Signal Path
The AV receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format
you choose will depend on the formats supported by your components. Use the following sections as a guide.
Note
• The on-screen setup menus are displayed when:
– There is no video input, or
– The video input is 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p.
Video component can be connected by using any one of the
following video connection formats: composite video,
component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best
picture quality.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the
AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats, so only
outputs of the same format as the input will output the signal.
Audio component can be connected by using any of the
following audio connection formats: analog, optical,
coaxial, or HDMI.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the
AV receiver does not convert digital input signals for
analog line outputs and vice versa. For example, audio
signals connected to an optical or coaxial digital input are
not output by the analog VCR/DVR OUT.
If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs
will be selected automatically in the following order of
priority: HDMI, digital, analog.
The on-screen setup menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to
the MONITOR OUT V or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, use the AV receiver’s display when changing settings.
