Connecting the AV Receiver/AV Amplifier
—Continued
By connecting both the audio and video outputs of your DVD player and other AV components to the AV receiver/AV
amplifier, you can select both the audio and video simultaneously simply by selecting the appropriate input source on
the AV receiver/AV amplifier.
The AV receiver/AV amplifier supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equip-
ment. The format you choose will depend on the formats supported by your other components. Use the following
sections as a guide.
For video components, you must make two connections—one for audio, one for video.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver/AV amplifier by using any one of the following video connection
formats: composite video, S-Video, component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.
For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconver-
sion (e.g., component video input through to component video output). It is also recommended that you set the
“Immediate Display” preference to “Off” (see page 90), the “Picture Adjust” setting to the default (see page 88),
and the “Output Resolution” setting to “Through” (see page 92).
Video input signals flow through the AV
receiver/AV amplifier as shown, with composite
video, S-Video, 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.
When you connect audio equipment to an HDMI
or COMPONENT input, you must assign that
input to an input selector (see pages 42 and 43).
