Connecting the AV Receiver
—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 “Monitor Out” setting, which
generally determines whether video signals are upconverted for the component video output or the HDMI outputs.
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” (see page 116), the “Picture Adjust” setting to the default (see
page 111), and the “Resolution” setting to “Through” (see page 55).
■
“Monitor Out” Setting Set to “HDMI Main” or “HDMI Sub”
With the “Monitor Out” setting set to “HDMI
Main” or “HDMI Sub” (see page 52), video
input signals flow through the AV receiver as
shown, with composite video, S-Video, and
component video sources all being upcon-
verted for the respective HDMI output.
Use the
“HDMI Main” or “HDMI Sub” setting if
you connect the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT
MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB, respectively, to
your TV.
The composite video, S-Video, and component
video outputs pass through their respective
input signals as they are.
