7 Audio/video connection

In addition to the HDMI terminals, this receiver is equipped with three video terminals—composite video, S-video, and component video terminals, and two audio jacks—analog discrete 5.1 channel audio input jacks (DVD MULTI IN) and stereo audio jacks.

•If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) and/or component video (Y, PB, PR) jacks, connect them using an S-video cable (not supplied) or component video cable (not supplied). By using these terminals, you can get a better picture quality in the order:

Component > S-video > Composite

IMPORTANT:

The video signals from one type of these input jacks are transmitted only through the video output jacks of the same type. Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video component are connected to the receiver through the video terminals of different type, you cannot record the picture. In addition, if the TV and a playing video component are connected to the receiver through the video terminals of different type, you cannot view the playback picture on the TV.*

DO NOT use a TV through a VCR or a TV with a built-in VCR; otherwise, the picture may be distorted.

CAUTION:

If you connect a sound-enhancing device such as a graphic equalizer between the source components and this receiver, the sound output through this receiver may be distorted.

If your video components have AV COMPU LINK terminals

See also page 45 for detailed information about the connection and the AV COMPU LINK remote control system.

*When connecting the TV to the receiver through the HDMI MONITOR OUT terminal and selecting “HDMI” for the video output setting, you can view the playback picture on the TV.

Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.

Connecting a DVD recorder or DVD player with its stereo output jacks:
