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 Connection Formats
Video component can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, com-
ponent 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 component can be connected by using any of the
following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coax-
ial, or HDMI.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the
AV receiver does not convert digital input signals for ana-
log line outputs and vice versa. For example, audio signals
connected to an optical or coaxial digital input are not out-
put 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 pri-
ority: HDMI, digital, analog.
Which Connections Should I Use?
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.
