AVR 1565/AVR 1566 HDMI devices If any of your source devices have HDMI connectors, using those connectors 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 HDMI cables, although you can assign one of the digital audio connectors to one of the HDMI inputs. If you have a TV or other source device equipped with the HDMI Audio Return Channel function, you can feed its sound to the AVR via the HDMI Monitor Out connector's Audio Return Channel, and it will not require additional audio connections to the AVR. AVR HDMI Connectors Optical digital audio devices Making Connections, continued If your source devices have optical digital outputs, connect them to the AVR's Optical Digital Audio connectors. NOTE: Make only one type of digital connection (HDMI, optical or coaxial) from each device.

You will also need to make an audio connection from the player to the AVR. AVR DVD Component Video Connectors If your source devices have coaxial digital outputs, connect them to the AVR's Coaxial Digital Audio connectors.

AVR Analog Audio Connectors Component Video-Equipped Blu-ray Disc or DVD Player Composite video devices You will need to make composite video connections from your source devices that do not have HDMI or component video connectors. You will also need to connect the source device's analog audio outputs to the AVR's corresponding analog audio connectors.
