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,
The AV receiver can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the HDMI Monitor setting, which generally determines whether video signals are upconverted for the component video output or the HDMI out- puts.
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). It’s also recommended that you set the Immediate Display preference to Off (page 107).
