Video connections

For best picture quality we recommend making a HDMI connection, then in declining order of quality, Component video connections, S-Video connections and then Composite video connections.

To use HDMI (digital connection), see the next section below. For analog video, use one of the following three types of connections:

1.Composite - connect with single 75 ohm video phono cable (RCA- RCA).

2.S-Video - connect with S-Video cable.

3.Component - connect with 75 ohm Component video cables (3RCA- 3RCA).

HDMI connections

HDMI (High-Definition Multi-Media Interface) is an all digital connection that can carry both audio and video in one cable. Direct digital transfer of video and support for various types of High Definition video content make this the best connection type for picture quality. The two HDMI inputs can be assigned to any one of the DVD, Video 1, Video 2, CD/Aux, Tape/MD and 6.1 Direct inputs (see the ‘Assigning HDMI sources’ section of this manual for more information).

The 540R v3 routes the HDMI outputs of DVD players, set-top boxes etc to the TV/Monitor without any internal processing. Consult both the source and TV's manuals to find out how to set the best modes for best picture quality. As the 540R v3 only routes/switches HDMI it is not involved in these settings itself.

TV/Monitor with HDMI input

The sources will also normally supply audio to the TV/Monitor over the HDMI connection, this will be separate from the audio that the 540R v3 decodes.

In order for the 540R v3 itself to receive audio (Including surround- sound) from HDMI (or DVI) sources a Co-axial (SPDIF) or Optical (Toslink) digital audio connection must be made from each source to the 540R v3.

DVI switching can be supported simply by using DVI to HDMI adaptors as these two connection types are compatible. When using DVI only video will be passed to the TV/Monitor. Again a Co-axial (SPDIF) or Optical (Toslink) digital audio connection must be made from each source to the 540R v3 for it to be able to receive audio and decode surround sound etc.
