The video and audio signal flow
Connect the AV receiver between the AV
components and the TV. The signal from the AV
components is carried through the AV receiver. You
can enjoy the audio of the TV through the AV
receiver.
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 53).
*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.
