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, component video, or HDMI, the lat- ter offering the best picture quality.

Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown, with composite video, S- Video, and component video sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output.

The composite video, S-Video, and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.

When you connect audio equipment to an HDMI or COMPONENT input, you must assign that input to an input selector (see pages 46 and 47).

If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of priority: HDMI, component video, S-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 inter- preted as no component video signal being present.

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

The onscreen setup menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to the composite video or S-Video MONITOR OUT, or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, use the HT-R667’s own display when changing settings.
