En-90, Audio Connection Formats, Signal Selection

■Signal Selection

If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of priority: HDMI, component video, composite video.

However, for component video only, regardless of whether a component video signal is actually present, if a component video input is assigned to the input selector, that component video input will be selected. And if no component video input is assigned to the input selector, this will be interpreted as no component video signal being present.

In the Signal Selection Example shown below, video signals are present at both the HDMI and composite video inputs. However, the HDMI signal is automatically selected as the source and the video is output by the HDMI outputs.

Signal Selection Example

Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, etc.

Audio Connection Formats

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

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver does not convert digital input signals for analog line outputs and vice versa.

If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of priority: HDMI, digital, analog.

Tip

•When a signal is input via HDMI and the corresponding input selector is selected, the HDMI indicator lights. In the case of an optical or coaxial connection, the DIGITAL indicator lights. In the case of an analog connection, neither of the HDMI and DIGITAL indicators light.
