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.
Video component can be connected by using any one of the
following video connection formats: composite video, PC IN
(Analog RGB), component video or HDMI, the latter
offering the best picture quality.
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown,
with composite video, PC IN (Analog RGB) and component
video sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output.
The composite video and component video outputs carry
their respective input signals as they are.
When you connect a video component to an HDMI or
COMPONENT input, you must assign that input to an input
selector (➔ page 42).
Tip
• 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).
■ 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 on the right, 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 output.
The on-screen setup 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.
