Which Connections Should I Use?

The AV receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format you choose will depend on the formats supported by your other components. Use the following sections as a guide. For video components, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.

Video Connection Formats

Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, S-Video, or component video, the lat- ter offering the best picture quality.

Composite video to S-Video and S-Video to composite video conversion only applies to the MONITOR OUT V and S outputs, not the VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2 OUT V and S outputs.

Note: The AV receiver can be set to upconvert composite video and S-Video input signals and output them from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (see page 40).

Audio Connection Formats

Audio equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any of the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, or analog multichannel.

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver does not convert digital input signals for analog line output and vice versa. For example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or COAXIAL input are not output by the analog TAPE OUT.
