Connection guide

Blu-ray Disc (Bd) / DVD player

The diagram shows how to make audio and video connections from a typical BD/DVD player.

The preferred video hook-up, in order of preference is:

<use the HDMI connector (if HDMI output is provided by the player), otherwise connect the three Component or four RgB+Sync video connectors.

<use the S-Video connection if HDMI or Component /RgB+Sync outputs are not provided by your player.

<use the Composite connection if HDMI, Component/RgB+Sync or S-Video are not provided by your player.

In each case, connect the video inputs labelled BD on the AVR400.

The preferred audio hook-up is using the coaxial digital connector (usually marked DigitAl AUDio OUT), in addition to the coaxial analogue outputs for left and right channels.

In each case, use the audio inputs labelled BD on the AVR400.

Satellite receiver

A satellite receiver is connected in the same way as a BD player, with the same order of preference according to the outputs provided by the satellite receiver.

In each case, use the inputs labelled SAT on the AVR400. Note that digital audio input from a satellite receiver sometimes requires a coaxial/TOSLINK (digital connector) interconnect cable, as some satellite receivers do not implement audio over HDMI properly or at all.

CD player

Connect the digital audio output (if provided by the CD player) to the digital CD input of the AVR400, using a high quality coaxial interconnect cable.

Connect the right and left analogue audio outputs of the CD player to the analogue CD inputs of the AVR400, using a pair of high quality coaxial interconnect cables.

note:

For each input, you must set the “Audio Source” setting according to the connection type.
