INSTALLATION
For each video source, select one type of video connection. HDMI video
is preferred, but both your source device and your video display must
have this type of video capability. If either device does not, then use
component video, S-video or composite video.
Referring to Table 2, we recommend that you connect the DVD source
to the Component Video 1 inputs, the Video 1 source to the Component
Video 2 inputs, and the Video 2 source to the Component Video 3 inputs.
Any HDMI-capable source devices should be connected to one of the
two HDMI inputs. All other source devices should be connected to either
the component, S- or composite video input for that source. However,
you may make whatever video connections are best for your system.
NOTE: It’s possible for a source to use none of the connections
named for that source. For example, you might connect your
DVD player to the Component Video 1 inputs and the Coax 1
digital audio input. However, we will refer to this source as
“DVD,” and in the Initial Setup section you will program the
receiver so that these connections are assigned to the DVD
source. When you select “DVD” as your source using the front
panel or the remote, the correct connections for your DVD
player will be used.
