Analogue video input connections
Three types of analogue video connections can be made to the 551R:
1. Composite - connect with single 75 ohm video phono cable (RCA-RCA).
2. S-Video - connect with S-Video cable.
3. Component - connect with 75 ohm Component video cables (3RCA-3RCA)
For sources that support HDMI this is always the best choice. For sources that only support analogue video for best picture quality we
recommend making Component video connections, then in declining order of
quality, S-Video connections and then Composite video connections.
The 551R is able to transcode i.e. upconvert analogue video to HDMI for the
main monitor/TV output.

HDMI (High-Definition Multi-Media Interface) is an all digital connection that
can carry both audio and video in one cable. Direct digital transfer of audio
and video and support for various types of High Definition video content and
high resolution audio make this the best connection type to use. The 4 HDMI
inputs can be assigned to the BD/DVD, Video 1, Video 2, CD/Aux/TV,
Tape/MD/CDR or 7.1 Direct sources (see the “Assigning HDMI sources”
section for more information).

DVI switching can be supported by using DVI to HDMI adaptors as these two
connection types are compatible. When using DVI only video will be passed
to the TV/Monitor and a Co-axial (S/P DIF) or Optical (Toslink) digital audio
connection must be made from each source to the 551R for it to be able to
receive audio and decode surround sound etc.
