Connecting Your AV Components—Continued
The HT-R510 offers several connection formats for compat-
ibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format you
choose will depend on the formats supported by your AV
components. Use the following sections as a guide.
When connecting video equipment, you need to make video
and audio connections.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the HT-R510 using the
following video connection formats: composite video,
S-Video, or component video, the latter offering the best pic-
ture quality.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the
HT-R510 doesn’t convert between formats, so only output
connectors of the same format as the input connector will
output a signal, as shown below.
For example, if you connect your DVD player to the
S-VIDEO DVD IN, a video signal will be output by the
S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT (for your TV) and the S-VIDEO
VIDEO 1 OUT (for your VCR), but not the composite video
or component video outputs.
Audio Connection Formats
Audio equipment can be connected to the HT-R510 using the
following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial,
and multi-channel (5.1).
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the
HT-R510 doesn’t convert between formats, as shown below.
For example, audio signals connected to the OPTICAL or
COAXIAL digital input are not output by the analog TAPE
OUT connectors, so if you want to record from, for example,
your CD player, in addition to connecting it to a digital input,
you must also connect it to the analog CD IN connectors.
The switched AC outlet on the HT-R510’s rear panel can be
used to supply power to another AV component, as shown.
Make sure that the wattage requirements of the AV compo-
nent that you connect to the HT-R510’s AC outlet do not
exceed the maximum wattage printed on the rear panel.
