Connecting Your AV Components—Continued
The TX-SR501/TX-SR501E offers several connection for-
mats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment.
The format you choose will depend on the formats supported
by your AV components. Use the following sections as a
guide.
When connecting video equipment, you need to make video
and audio connections.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the TX-SR501/
TX-SR501E using the following video connection formats:
composite video, S-Video, or component video, the latter
offering the best picture quality.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the
TX-SR501/TX-SR501E doesn’t convert between formats, so
only output connectors of the same format as the input con-
nector will output a signal, as shown below.
For example, if you connect your DVD player to the
S-VIDEO DVD IN, a video signal will be output by the
S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT (for your TV) and the S-VIDEO
VIDEO 1 OUT (for your VCR), but not the composite video
or component video outputs.
Audio Connection Formats
Audio equipment can be connected to the TX-SR501/
TX-SR501E using the following audio connection formats:
analog, optical, coaxial, and multi-channel (5.1).
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the
TX-SR501/TX-SR501E doesn’t convert between formats, as
shown below.
For example, audio signals connected to the OPTICAL or
COAXIAL digital input are not output by the analog TAPE
OUT connectors, so if you want to record from, for example,
your CD player, in addition to connecting it to a digital input,
you must also connect it to the analog CD IN connectors.
The switched AC outlet on the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E’s
rear panel can be used to supply power to another AV com-
ponent, as shown. The connector type depends on the country
in which you purchased your TX-SR501/TX-SR501E.
Make sure that the wattage requirements of the AV compo-
nent that you connect to the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E’s AC
outlet do not exceed the maximum wattage printed on the
rear panel.
