Which Connections Should I Use?

The AV receiver/AV amplifier supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equip- ment. 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 audio, one for video.

Video Connection Formats

Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver/AV amplifier 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/AV amplifier 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 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). It’s also recommended that you set the Immediate Display preference to Off (page 93).

HDMI Monitor Setting Set to Yes

With the HDMI Monitor setting set to Yes (see page 47), video input signals flow through the AV receiver/AV amplifier as shown, with com- posite video, S-Video, and component video sources all being upconverted for the HDMI out- put. Use this setting if you connect the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s HDMI OUT to your TV. The composite video, S-Video, and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.
