Connection Tips and
Video Signal Path
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 components. Use the following sections as a guide.
Note
• The on-screen menus are displayed when:
– There is no video input, or
– The video input is 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p.
Video components can be connected by using any one of
the following video connection formats: composite video,
component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best
picture quality.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the
AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats, so only
outputs of the same format as the input will output the
signal.
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.
*1
Depends on the “Audio TV Out” setting (➔ page 52).
*2
This is possible when “Audio Return Ch” is set to “Auto”
(➔ page 53), the TV/CD input selector is selected, and your
TV is ARC capable.
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.
The on-screen menus appear only on a TV that is
connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected
to other video outputs, use the AV receiver’s display
when changing settings.
