Making Connections
Connect Your HDMI Devices
If any of your source devices have HDMI connectors, using them will provide the best
possible video and audio performance quality. Since the HDMI cable carries both digital
video and digital audio signals, you do not have to make any additional audio connections
for devices you connect via an HDMI cable.

NOTE: If you have HDMI devices already connected directly to your TV, you can feed their
sound to the AVR via the HDMI Out connector’s Audio Return Channel, and they will not
require additional connections to the AVR.
Connect Your Composite Video Devices
Use composite video connectors for video source devices that don’t have HDMI
connectors. You will also need to make an audio connection from the source device to
the AVR.

Connect Your Optical Digital Audio Devices
If your non-HDMI source devices have optical digital outputs, connect them to the AVR’s
optical digital audio connectors.
NOTE: Make only one type of digital connection (HDMI, optical or coaxial) from each
device.
