HDMI devices
If any of your source devices have HDMI connectors, using those connectors will provide the best possible video and audio performance quality. Since the HDMI cable carries both digital video and digital audio signals, you do not have to make any additional audio connections for devices you connect via HDMI cables, although you can assign one of the digital audio connectors to one of the HDMI inputs.
If you have a TV or other source device equipped with the HDMI Audio Return Channel function, you can feed its sound to the AVR via the HDMI Monitor Out connector’s Audio Return Channel, and it will not require additional audio connections to the AVR.

Composite video devices
You will need to make composite video connections from your source devices that do not have HDMI or component video connectors. You will also need to connect the source device’s analog audio outputs to the AVR’s corresponding analog audio connectors.
