Which Connections Should I Use?

The TX-L55 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 two connections—one for the audio, one for the video.

Video Connection Formats

Video equipment can be connected to the TX-L55 by using one of the following video connection formats: composite video, S-Video, or component video, the lat- ter offering the best picture quality.

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the TX-L55 doesn’t convert between formats, so only outputs of the same format as the input will output the signal.

For example, if you connect your DVD player to the S DVD IN, a video signal will be output by the

S MONITOR OUT (for your TV), but not by any com- posite video or component video outputs.

Audio Connection Formats

Audio equipment can be connected to the TX-L55 using the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, and multichannel.

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the TX-L55 doesn’t convert between formats.

For example, audio signals connected to an OPT or COAX digital input are not output by the analog VIDEO 1 AUDIO 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

AUX IN.
