AVR 1565/AVR 1566 Connections Connect Your Audio and Video Source Devices Source devices are components where a playback signal originates, e.g., a Blu-ray Disc™ or DVD player; a cable, satellite or HDTV tuner; etc. Your AVR has several different types of input connectors for your audio and video source devices: HDMI, component video, composite video, optical digital audio, coaxial digital audio and analog audio. The connectors are labeled for the types of source devices you are most likely to connect. Each of your AVR's various source buttons is assigned to an analog audio input connector (listed in the "AVR Source Button/Analog Audio Connector" column of the table below). To provide you flexibility for connecting and configuring your system, we have designed the AVR so that you can assign the digital audio inputs and component video input to any of the video AVR sources. As you connect your source components, fill out the "Source Device Connected" column in the following table - it will make it easier for you to assign the digital audio input connectors and component video connector later in the setup process.

Connect Your Audio and Video Source Devices
Source devices are components where a playback signal originates, e.g., a Blu-ray
Disc
™
or DVD player; a cable, satellite or HDTV tuner; etc. Your AVR has several different
types of input connectors for your audio and video source devices: HDMI, component
video, composite video, optical digital audio, coaxial digital audio and analog audio. The
connectors are labeled for the types of source devices you are most likely to connect.
Each of your AVR’s various source buttons is assigned to an analog audio input connector
(listed in the “AVR Source Button/Analog Audio Connector” column of the table below). To
provide you flexibility for connecting and configuring your system, we have designed the
AVR so that you can assign the digital audio inputs and component video input to any of
the video AVR sources.
As you connect your source components, fill out the “Source Device Connected” column
in the following table – it will make it easier for you to assign the digital audio input
connectors and component video connector later in the setup process.

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 your Blu-ray Disc or DVD player does not have an HDMI connector but does have a
component video connector, using the component video connector will provide superior
video performance. You will also need to make an audio connection from the player to
the AVR.
