BDS 270/BDS 570 Connections Connecting a TV or Video Display Use the supplied HDMI cable to connect the BDS receiver's HDMI output to your TV/video display's HDMI input. The BDS receiver is HDMI version 1.4a with 3-D and 30/36-bit Deep Color. NOTE: If you have devices (such as an Internet modem) already connected directly to your TV, you can feed their sound to the BDS receiver via the HDMI Monitor Out connector's Audio Return Channel, and they will not require additional connections to the receiver. Connecting Your Component Video Source Device If you have a video source device that has a component video connector (and does not have an HDMI connector), using the component video connector will provide superior video performance. You will also need to make an audio connection from the device to the receiver's Aux In 1 connectors. Component Video-Equipped Source Device To Component Video Outputs To Analog Audio Outputs Component Video Cable (not supplied) Stereo Audio Cable (not supplied) TV NOTE: The HDMI connection will deliver both video and audio to your TV or video display. We suggest disabling your TV or video display's audio system to take full advantage of your BDS receiver's superior audio reproduction. Connecting Your HDMI Source Devices If you have any source devices with HDMI connectors, using them 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 an HDMI cable. HDMI-Equipped Source Device Connecting Your Optical Digital Audio Source Devices If up to two of your non-HDMI source devices have optical digital outputs, connect them to the receiver's optical digital audio connectors. NOTE: Make only one type of digital connection (HDMI, optical or coaxial) from each device.
