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.

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 latter offering the best picture quality.

The AV receiver can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the “Monitor Out” setting, which generally determines whether video signals are upconverted for the component video output or the HDMI output.

For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconver- sion (e.g., component video input through to component video output).

To by-pass video upconversion in the receiver, simultaneously press the [VCR/DVR] and [RETURN] buttons on the AV receiver. While continuing to hold down the [VCR/DVR] button, press the [RETURN] button to toggle until "Skip" appears on the display. Release both buttons.

To use the video upconversion in the receiver, repeat the above process until "Use" appears on the display and release the buttons.time.

■“Monitor Out” Setting Set to “HDMI Main” or “HDMI Sub”

With the “Monitor Out” setting set to “HDMI Main” or “HDMI Sub” (see page 47), 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. Use the “HDMI Main” or “HDMI Sub” setting if you connect the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB, respectively, to your TV.

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

If not connected to the same output you have

selected in the “Monitor Out” setting, the “Mon- itor Out” setting will be automatically switched

to “Analog” (see page 47). In this case, the set-

ting of the output resolution will be that for HDMI output (see page 47). However, it will be switched to “1080i” when “1080p” is selected, and to “Through” when “Auto” is selected.
