Connection Tips and Video Signal Path 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 components. Use the following sections as a guide. The on-screen menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to other video outputs, use the AV receiver's display when changing settings. Video Connection Formats Video components can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, S-Video, PC IN (Analog RGB), component video or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.

Connection Tips and Video Signal Path
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 components. Use the following sections as a guide.
Video components can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video,
S-Video, PC IN (Analog RGB), component video or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.
Tip
•
For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconversion (e.g., component
video input passing through to component video output).
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown,
with composite video, S-Video, PC IN (Analog RGB) and
component video sources all being upconverted for the
HDMI output.
The composite video, S-Video and component video outputs
pass through their respective input signals as they are.
■
Signal Selection
If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs
will be selected automatically in the following order of
priority: HDMI, component video, PC IN (Analog
RGB), S-Video and composite video.
However, for component video only, regardless of
whether a component video signal is actually present,
if a component video input is assigned to the input
selector, that component video input will be selected.
And if no component video input is assigned to the
input selector, this will be interpreted as no component
video signal being present.
In the Signal Selection Example shown on the right,
video signals are present at both the S-video and
composite video inputs, however, the S-video signal is
automatically selected as the source and video is output
by the S-Video and HDMI outputs.
The on-screen menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the
HDMI OUT
. If your TV is connected to other
video outputs, use the AV receiver’s display when changing settings.
