Which Connections Should I Use?

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, such as a DVD player, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.

Audio Connection Formats

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats.

Video Connection Formats

Video equipment can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, S-Video, or component video, the latter offering the best picture quality.

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats, so only outputs of the same format as the input will output the signal.
