Connecting Your Components—Continued

■HDMI Monitor Setting Set to No

With the HDMI Monitor setting set to No (see page 45), video input signals flow through the AV controller as shown, with composite video and S-Video sources being upconverted for the component video output. Use this setting if you connect the AV controller’s COMPO- NENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT 1 or COM-

PONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT 2/ZONE 2 OUT to your TV.

Composite video is upconverted to S-Video and S-Video is downconverted to composite video. Note that these conversions only apply to the MONITOR OUT V and S outputs, not the VCR/DVR OUT V and S outputs.

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

Audio Connection Formats

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

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV controller does not convert digital input signals for analog line outputs and vice versa. For example, audio signals con- nected to an optical or coaxial digital input are not output by the analog TAPE OUT.
