Connecting Your Components
—Continued
By connecting both the audio and video outputs of your DVD player and other AV components to the AV receiver, you
can switch the audio and video signals simultaneously simply by changing the input source on the AV receiver.
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, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver 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.
The AV receiver can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the HDMI Monitor setting,
which generally determines whether video signals are upconverted for the component video output or the HDMI output.
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’s also recommended that you set the
Immediate Display preference to Off (page 97).
■
HDMI Monitor Setting Set to Yes
With the HDMI Monitor setting set to Yes (see
page 46), video input signals flow through the
AV receiver as shown, with composite video,
S-Video, and component video sources all
being upconverted for the HDMI output. Use
this setting if you connect the AV receiver’s
HDMI OUT to your TV.
The composite video, S-Video, and component
video outputs pass through their respective
input signals as they are.
