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, such as a DVD player, you must make two connections-one for audio, one for video. Video Connection Formats Audio Connection Formats Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver using one of the following video connection formats: composite video, or component video, the latter offering the best picture quality. When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver doesn't convert between formats, so only outputs of the same format as the input will output the signal. For example, if you connect your DVD player to the COMPONENT VIDEO DVD IN, a video signal will be output by the COMPONENT OUT, but not by any composite video outputs. Audio equipment can be connected to the AV receiver using the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, and multichannel. When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver doesn't convert between formats. For example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or COAXIAL digital input are not output by the analog TAPE OUT, so if you want to record from, for example, your CD player, in addition to connecting it to a digital input, you must also connect it to the analog CD IN.
