Connecting the AV Receiver
—Continued
By connecting both the audio and video outputs of your DVD player and other AV components to the AV receiver, you
can switch the audio and video signals simultaneously simply by changing the input source on the AV receiver.
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 other components. Use the following sections as a guide.
For video components, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the AV
receiver 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 Connection Formats
Audio equipment can be connected to the AV
receiver by using any of the following audio
connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, or
HDMI.
When you connect audio equipment to an
OPTICAL or COAXIAL input, you must
assign that input to an input selector
(see page 36).
Audio signals received by the HDMI IN jacks
are output only by the HDMI OUT (Pass-
Thru). HDMI sources are not output by the
speakers connected to the AV receiver.
