Deciding which connections to use
The receiver supports several connection formats
for compatibility with a wide range of AV
equipment. The format you choose depends on the
formats supported by your components. Use the
following sections as a guide.
Video connection formats
Video components can be connected by using any
one of the following video connection formats
(shown best first): HDMI, component video, or
composite video.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind
that the receiver does not convert between formats,
so only outputs of the same format as the input will
output the signal.

Notes
• Before making any AV connections, read the
manuals supplied with your AV components.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve
completed and double-checked all AV
connections.
• Push plugs in all the way to make good
connections (loose connections can cause noise
or malfunctions).
• To prevent interference, keep audio and video
cables away from power cords and speaker
cables.

shutter-type covers that open when an optical plug is
inserted and close when it’s removed. Push plugs in
all the way.

To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug
straight when inserting and removing.

there is no video input, or the video input is
