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 two connections—one for audio, one for video.

Video Connection Formats

Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any one of the following video connection for- mats: composite video, S-Video, or component video, the latter offering the best picture quality.

A video signal connected to a V or S IN jack will be converted—composite video to S-Video or S-Video to composite video—but only for the MONITOR OUT jacks, not the VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2 OUT V and S jacks.

Audio Connection Formats

Audio equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any of the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, or multichannel.

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver doesn’t convert between them. For example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or COAXIAL input are not output by the analog TAPE OUT.

Notes:

•The AV receiver can be set to upconvert composite video and S-Video input signals and output them from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (see page 46).

•For details on the HDMI jacks, see page 32.

•Depending on the settings made on the AV receiver, the “composite video to S-Video” and “S-Video to composite video” conversions may not work (see page 46).
