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, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.

Audio Connection Formats

Audio equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any of the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, analog multichannel, or HDMI.

When you connect audio equipment to an HDMI, OPTICAL, or COAXIAL input, you must assign that input to an input selector (see pages 45).

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver does not convert dig- ital input signals for analog line outputs and vice versa. For example, audio signals con- nected to an optical or coaxial digital input are not output by the analog TAPE 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 (including multichannel). You can specify which audio inputs the AV receiver checks for the presence of a signal in the “Automatic Audio Input Selection Setup” on page 47.
