Making Connections

Connect Your HDMI Devices

If any of your source devices have HDMI connectors, using them 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 an HDMI cable.

NOTE: If you have HDMI devices (such as an Internet connection) already connected directly to your TV, you can feed their sound to the AVR via the HDMI Monitor Out connector’s Audio Return Channel, and they will not require additional connections to the AVR.

Connect Your Component Video Devices

If any of your video source devices have component video connectors (and do not have HDMI connectors), using the component video connectors will provide superior video performance. You will also need to make an audio connection from the device to the receiver.

Connect Your Composite Video Devices

Use composite video connectors for video source devices that don’t have HDMI or component video connectors. You will also need to make an audio connection from the source device to the receiver.
