Video equipment can be connected to the HT-R510 using the following video connection formats: composite video, S-Video, or component video, the latter offering the best pic- ture quality.

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the HT-R510 doesn’t convert between formats, so only output connectors of the same format as the input connector will output a signal, as shown below.

For example, if you connect your DVD player to the S-VIDEO DVD IN, a video signal will be output by the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT (for your TV) and the S-VIDEO VIDEO 1 OUT (for your VCR), but not the composite video or component video outputs.

Audio Connection Formats

Audio equipment can be connected to the HT-R510 using the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, and multi-channel (5.1).

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the HT-R510 doesn’t convert between formats, as shown below.

For example, audio signals connected to the OPTICAL or COAXIAL digital input are not output by the analog TAPE OUT connectors, 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 connectors.
