component video or HDMI connection to your monitor. S-Video and composite video outputs are also
provided if your monitor does not have component video inputs.
Connecting a DVD player and monitor
• To connect the video output from the DVD player to the AVR-887, you only need to choose one
connection type. For more information about the video up conversion function ( page 15).
• To connect the digital audio output from the DVD player, you can choose from either the coaxial or
optical connections. If you choose to use the coaxial connection, it needs to be assigned. For more
information about Digital Input Assignment (
page 49).
Audio signal flow is shown with white arrows, video signal flow is shown with gray arrows.
• Connect a non-DVD video disc player (such as a laser disc, VCD/SVCD, or future high definition disc
player) to the DVD/VDP terminals in the same way.
• The AVR-887 is equipped with HDMI terminals, so it can be connected to a DVD player or monitor using
an HDMI cable.
• The component video input and/or output terminals may be labelled differently on some monitors or
video components. Check the owner’s manuals for other components for further information.
• Audio signals are only output from the HDMI monitor out terminal when audio signals are input to the
HDMI input terminal.
• When connecting the AVR-887 and DVD player using an HDMI cable, also connect the AVR-887 and
monitor using an HDMI cable ( page 19).
