BD/SAT

Connection guide

blu-ray disc (bd) / dVd player

The diagram shows how to make audio and video

connections from a typical BD/DVD player.
The preferred video hook-up, in order of preference is:

<

use the HDMI connector (if HDMI output is

provided by the player), otherwise connect the three

Component or four rgB+Sync video connectors.

<

use the S-Video connection if HDMI or Component

/rgB+Sync outputs are not provided by your player.

<

use the Composite connection if HDMI,

Component/rgB+Sync or S-Video are not provided

by your player.

In each case, connect the video inputs labelled

BD

on the

AVr400.
The preferred audio hook-up is using the coaxial digital

connector (usually marked

DiGiTAl AUDiO OUT

), in

addition to the coaxial analogue outputs for left and

right channels.
In each case, use the audio inputs labelled

BD

on the

AVr400.

Satellite receiver

A satellite receiver is connected in the same way as a BD

player, with the same order of preference according to

the outputs provided by the satellite receiver.
In each case, use the inputs labelled

SAT

on the AVr400.

note that digital audio input from a satellite receiver

sometimes requires a coaxial/TOSLInK (digital

connector) interconnect cable, as some satellite receivers

do not implement audio over HDMI properly or at all.

Cd player

Connect the digital audio output (if provided by the CD

player) to the digital

CD

input of the AVr400, using a

high quality coaxial interconnect cable.
Connect the right and left analogue audio outputs of

the CD player to the analogue

CD

inputs of the AVr400,

using a pair of high quality coaxial interconnect cables.

NOTE:
For each input, you must set the “Audio Source

setting according to the connection type.

(see “Input Config.” on page E-35)
