Each input on the AVR500/AVR600/AV888 has multiple connection possibilities for both audio and video, including HDMI, Component Video, digital audio and analogue audio. When an input is selected, by default the AVR500/AVR600/AV888 will scan all possible video and audio connectors for that input until a valid signal is detected. This ensures that the input is found no matter what connection is used, however, it increases the time that it takes to activate the input.

For fastest operation, set the Audio Source and Video Source to the connection type you are using: HDMI, Component, S-Video or Composite for video and HDMI, Digital or Analogue for audio. The AVR500/ AVR600/AV888 will then select this connection

NOTE

Some sources such as set-top boxes, PVRs or network streaming devices may shut down their digital audio outputs under certain conditions such as when pausing, fast-forwarding, changing tracks or changing channels. If the Audio Source is set to Auto, the AVR500/AVR600/AV888 may switch to the analogue input, causing a delay when the digital signal is restored by the source. To prevent this, change the source settings from Auto to the connection type in use.

Selecting the video source

Once the Video Source option is highlighted as shown, press the ok key to select it for modification. Use the B and C keys to select from the list the video type you are using on this source.

<Auto: (default) the unit scans through the various video input connectors/formats for the current source and selects the highest quality available for this source. This setting increases switching time.

<HDMI: the unit is forced to use the HDMI video input for this source.

<Component: the unit is forced to use the Component/RGB video input for this source.

<S-Video: the unit is forced to use the S-Video input for this source.

<Composite: the unit is forced to use the Composite video input for this source.

Selecting the audio source (software version 1.9 +)

Highlight the Audio Source as shown and press the ok key to select it for modification. Use the B and C keys to select from the list the audio type you are using on this source. NOTE: you may experience some audio transients when changing this setting. As a precaution, we recommend that you reduce the volume level first.

<Auto: (default) the unit scans through the various audio input connectors/formats for the current source and selects the highest quality available for this source. See note.

<HDMI: the unit is forced to use the HDMI audio input for this source.

<Digital: the unit is forced to use the optical (TOSLinK) or coaxial (S/PDIF) digital audio input for this source

<Analogue: the unit is forced to use the analogue audio input for this source.
