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, such as a DVD player, 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,
A video signal connected to a V or S IN jack will be con-
Note: The AV receiver can be set to upconvert composite video and
For optimum video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through without upconversion (i.e., Composite video input to Composite video out- put;
Audio Connection Formats
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats.
For example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or COAXIAL digital input are not output by the analog TAPE OUT, so if you want to record from, for example, your CD player, in addition to connecting it to a digital input, you must also connect it to the analog CD IN.
