Another impressive feature is the incorporation of HDMI 1.3a support in both receivers, enabling high-definition audio and video passthrough. This capability ensures compatibility with the latest Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, and other HD devices. The receivers support various audio formats, including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, offering high-resolution sound that complements the latest film releases and video games.

In terms of connectivity, both the VSX-918V-K and VSX-818V-K feature multiple inputs, including composite and component video inputs, as well as optical and coaxial digital audio inputs. This extensive connectivity allows users to easily connect their devices and manage them through the intuitive on-screen GUI.
