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

Note

•In order for the AV receiver to upconvert component input to HDMI output, the source output must be set to 480i/576i. When signal is input at resolution of 480p/576p and more, error message will be displayed.

■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.

•For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconversion (e.g., component video input passing through to component video output).

•To by-pass the upconversion, set the “Picture Mode” setting to “Bypass” (➔ page 66).

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.

AV Cables and Jacks

■HDMI

HDMI connections can carry digital video and audio.

■Component video

Component video separates the luminance (Y) and color difference signals (PB, PR), providing the best picture quality (some TV manufacturers label their component video sockets slightly differently).

Y	Green
CB/PB	Blue
CR/PR	Red

■Composite video

Composite video is commonly used on TVs, DVDs, and other video equipment.

Yellow

■Optical digital audio

Optical digital connections allow you to enjoy digital sound such as PCM*1, Dolby Digital or DTS. The audio quality is the same as coaxial.
