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, 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, component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats, so only outputs of the same format as the input will output the signal.

Audio Connection Formats

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

When you connect audio equipment to an OPTICAL or COAXIAL input, you must assign that input to an input selector (see page 36).

Audio signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are output only by the HDMI OUT (Pass- Thru). HDMI sources are not output by the speakers connected to the AV receiver.
