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.

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 is also recommended that you press the [VCR/DVR] and [RETURN] buttons on the AV receiver at the same time. Select “Skip” in the “VideoProcessor” setting on the display. To reset back to the original setting, press the same button at the same time.

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.

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