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 MAIN. 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.

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).

■“Monitor Out” set to “HDMI Main” or “HDMI Sub”

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. Use these settings if you connect either the

HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB of the AV receiver to your TV.

The composite video, S-Video and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.
