Description

HDMI connections can carry digital video and audio.

Component video is a better alternative to Composite video, and is used for TVs, VCRs, DVD and Blu-ray players.

Composite video is commonly used on TVs, VCRs, and other video equipment.

Optical digital connections allow you to enjoy digital sound such as PCM or Dolby Digital. The audio quality is the same as coaxial.

Note: The available sampling rate for PCM input signals is 32/44.1/48/88.2/96 kHz. Even 176.4/192 kHz is effective in case of the HDMI connection.

Coaxial digital connections allow you to enjoy digital sound such as PCM or Dolby Digital. The audio quality is the same as optical.

Note: The available sampling rate for PCM input signals is 32/44.1/48/88.2/96 kHz. Even 176.4/192 kHz is effective in case of the HDMI connection.

Analog audio connections (RCA) carry analog audio.

Notes

The AV receiver’s optical digital jacks have shutter-type covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and close when it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way.

Caution

To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.

Deciding which connections to use

The receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format you choose depends on the formats supported by your components. Use the following sections as a guide.

Notes

•The on-screen setup menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to the MONITOR OUT V or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, use the receiver’s display when changing settings.
