Connecting the AV receiver
—Continued
By connecting both the audio and video outputs of your DVD player and other AV components to the AV receiver, you
can switch the audio and video signals simultaneously simply by changing the input source on the AV receiver.
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 other components. Use the following sections as a guide.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the AV
receiver 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 Connection Formats
Audio equipment can be connected to the AV
receiver by using any of the following audio
connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, or
HDMI.
When you connect audio equipment to an
HDMI, OPTICAL, or COAXIAL input, you
must assign that input to an input selector (see
pages 41 and 43).
If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of priority:
HDMI, digital, analog.

and Digital Input Setup (see page 43).
And, the audio signal can be output only when the input
video signal is from HDMI IN.
Do not connect the optical or coaxial audio cable when
you want to output the analog audio signal.
