Video Connection Formats
Video components can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.

Audio Connection Formats
Audio components can be connected by using any of the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, or HDMI.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver does not convert digital input signals for analog line outputs and vice versa. For example, audio signals connected to an optical or coaxial digital input are not output by the analog VCR/DVR OUT.
If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of priority: HDMI, digital, analog.
