Connecting the AV Receiver/AV Amplifier
—Continued
By connecting both the audio and video outputs of your DVD player and other AV components to the AV receiver/AV
amplifier, you can select both the audio and video simultaneously simply by selecting the appropriate input source on
the AV receiver/AV amplifier.
The AV receiver/AV amplifier supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equip-
ment. 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 two connections—one for audio, one for video.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver/AV amplifier 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.
The AV receiver/AV amplifier can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the “Monitor Out”
setting, which generally determines whether video signals are upconverted for the component video output or the HDMI
output.
For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconver-
sion (e.g., component video input through to component video output). It is also recommended that you set the
“Immediate Display” preference to “Off” (see page 92), the “Picture Adjust” setting to the default (see page 90),
and the “Output Resolution” setting to “Through” (see page 94).
■
“Monitor Out” Setting Set to “HDMI”
With the “Monitor Out” setting set to “HDMI”
(see page 41), video input signals flow through
the AV receiver/AV amplifier as shown, with
composite video, S-Video, and component video
sources all being upconverted for the HDMI out-
put.
Use this setting if you connect the AV
receiver/AV amplifier’s HDMI OUT to your
TV.
The composite video, S-Video, and component
video outputs pass through their respective input
signals as they are.
