Which Connections Should I Use? 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. 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. 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. Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown, Video Signal Flow Chart with composite video and component video sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output. Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, etc. The composite video and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are. Composite Component HDMI When you connect audio component to an HDMI or COM- IN PONENT input, you must assign that input to an input selec- tor (➔ 39). AV receiver Composite MONITOR OUT Component HDMI TV, projector, etc. ■ Signal Selection If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of priority: HDMI, component video, composite video. However, for component video only, regardless of whether a component video signal is actually present, if a component video input is assigned to the input selector, that component video input will be selected. And if no component video input is assigned to the input selector, this will be interpreted as no component video signal being present. In the Signal Selection Example shown on the right, video signals are present at both the HDMI and composite video inputs, however, the HDMI signal is automatically selected as the source and video is output by the HDMI outputs. Signal Selection Example Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, etc. Composite AV receiver Composite Component IN MONITOR OUT Component HDMI HDMI TV, projector, etc. Audio Connection Formats Audio component can be connected by using any of the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, or HDMI. When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver does not convert digital input signals for analog line outputs and vice versa. For example, audio signals connected to an optical or coaxial digital input are not output 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 priority: HDMI, digital, analog.
