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 components can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video,
S-Video, PC IN (Analog RGB), component video or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.
The AV receiver can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the “Monitor Out” setting
(➔ page 48), which generally determines whether video signals are upconverted for the component video output or the
HDMI output.
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).
• To by-pass the upconversion, set the “Picture Mode” setting to “Direct” (➔ page 61).
■“Monitor Out” set to “HDMI Main” or “HDMI Sub”
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown,
with composite video, S-Video, PC IN (Analog RGB) and
component video sources all being upconverted for the
HDMI output. Use these settings if you connect either the
HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB of the AV
receiver to your TV.
The composite video, S-Video and component video outputs
pass through their respective input signals as they are.
■“Monitor Out” set to “Both”, “Both(Main)” or “Both(Sub)”
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown,
with composite video, S-Video, PC IN (Analog RGB) and
component video sources all being upconverted for both
HDMI outputs. Use these settings if you connect both the
HDMI OUT MAIN and HDMI OUT SUB of the AV
receiver to your TV.
The composite video, S-Video and component video outputs
pass through their respective input signals as they are.
`Both: Video signals are output from both HDMI outputs
at the resolution supported by both TVs. You cannot
select “Resolution” setting.
`Both(Main): Video signals are output from both HDMI
outputs but HDMI OUT MAIN takes priority; depending
on the resolution, video signals may not be output from
HDMI OUT SUB.
`Both(Sub): Video signals are output from both HDMI
outputs but HDMI OUT SUB takes priority; depending
on the resolution, video signals may not be output from
HDMI OUT MAIN.
Note
•The “Monitor Out” setting will be automatically switched to “Analog” (➔ page 48) if not connected to both outputs when “Both”
is selected or if not connected to a priority output when “Both(Main)” or “Both(Sub)” is selected.
The on-screen menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT MAIN. If your TV is connected to
other video outputs, use the AV receiver’s display when changing settings.
