Connecting Your Components
—Continued
By connecting both the audio and video outputs of your DVD player and other AV components to the AV receiver, you
can switch the audio and video signals simultaneously simply by changing the 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 an audio connection and a video connection.
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,
component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the
best picture quality.
Composite video to S-Video and S-Video to com-
posite video conversion only applies to the MON-
ITOR OUT V and S outputs, not the VIDEO 1 and
VIDEO 2 OUT V and S outputs.
For optimum video performance, THX recom-
mends that video signals pass through the sys-
tem without upconversion (e.g., component
video input through to component video out-
put). It’s also recommended that you set the
Immediate Display preference to Off (page 78).
Audio Connection Formats
Audio equipment can be connected to the AV
receiver by using any of the following audio con-
nection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, analog
multichannel, or HDMI.
When choosing a connection format, bear in
mind that the AV receiver does not convert digital
input signals for analog line output and vice
versa. For example, audio signals connected to an
OPTICAL or COAXIAL input are not output by
the analog TAPE OUT.
