Onkyo HT-R980 instruction manual Audio Connection Formats, Signal Selection

■Signal Selection

If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of priority: HDMI, component video, composite video.

However, for component video only, regardless of whether a component video signal is actually present, if a component video input is assigned to the input selector, that component video input will be selected. And if no component video input is assigned to the input selector, this will be interpreted as no component video signal being present.

In the Signal Selection Example shown on the right, video signals are present at both the HDMI and composite video inputs, however, the HDMI signal is automatically selected as the source and video is output by the HDMI outputs.

Audio Connection Formats

Audio component can be connected by using any of the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coax- ial, or HDMI.

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver does not convert digital input signals for ana- log line outputs and vice versa. For example, audio signals connected to an optical or coaxial digital input are not out- put by the analog VCR/DVR OUT.

If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of pri- ority: HDMI, digital, analog.
