ENGLISH AVR Making Connections Connect Your HDMI Devices If any of your source devices have HDMI connectors, using them will provide the best possible video and audio performance quality. Since the HDMI cable carries both digital video and digital audio signals, you do not have to make any additional audio connections for devices you connect via an HDMI cable. AVR HDMI Connectors Connect Your Composite Video Devices Use composite video connectors for video source devices that don't have HDMI or component video connectors. You will also need to make an audio connection from the source device to the receiver.
