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 select both the audio and video simultaneously simply by selecting the appropriate 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 two connections—one for audio, one for video.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by
using any one of the following video connection formats:
composite video, S-Video, or component video, the
latter offering the best picture quality.
A video signal connected to a V or S IN jack will be con-
verted—composite video to S-Video or S-Video to com-
posite video—but only for the MONITOR OUT jacks,
not the VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2 OUT V and S jacks.
Note: The DTR-6.5/5.5 can be set to upconvert com-
posite video and S-Video input signals and output them
from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (see page 43).
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 multichannel.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that
the AV receiver doesn’t convert between them. For
example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or
COAXIAL input are not output by the analog TAPE
OUT.
