Video output connections

Connection to the TV can be by (in ascending order of quality) Composite Video , S-Video, Component Video and HDMI. HDMI is the recommended connection and the 650R can in addition transcode any analogue video sources to HDMI for a single connection to the TV.

Note: The 650R is unable to down-convert HDMI so if an HDMI source connection is made to the 650R you must make an HDMI output connection to the TV to view this source.

See later section on Video Connection Type in the Setup section for more details.

DVD-A or SACD players can be connected to the 650R via its 5.1/6.1/7.1 Direct inputs allowing multi-channel music playback from these new sources.

DVD-A and SACD both support 5.1 output. The 650R's direct inputs also allow optional connection of Surround Back or Surround Left and Surround Right signals for compatibility with future 6.1 or 7.1 sources or external decoders.

To select the Direct Input press the 7.1 Direct button on the front panel or remote.

Note: The 650R leaves the current video source selected for viewing when you select 7.1 Direct for audio.

This can be useful for universal DVD/DVD-A/SACD players for instance which can be connected to the 650R by two methods for audio at the same time.

A Digital or HDMI input can be made to the 650R for surround sound decoding and an analogue 5.1 connection to 7.1 Direct for DVD-A/SACD playback.

If the player is selected via the BD/DVD button you can then view its content and decode any relevant surround sound soundtracks.

If 7.1 Direct is then pressed, the players video is still available (for setup or other use) and the audio is now switched to come from the players analogue outputs.

These connections are pure analogue for best sound quality and no DSP processing or Bass and Treble adjustment by the 650R is possible.
