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.
For video components, such as a DVD player, you must make two connections--one for audio, one for video.
Video Connection Formats Audio Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the
AV
receiver
using one
of
the following video connection formats:
composite video, or component video, the latter offering
the best picture quality.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that
the
AV
receiverdoesn'tconvert between formats, so only
outputs
of
the same format as the input will output the
signal.
For example,
if
you connect your DVD player to the
COMPONENTVIDEO DVD IN, a video signal will be
output by the COMPONENT OUT, but not by any com-
posite video outputs.

Audio equipment can be connected to the
AV
receiver
using the following audio connection formats: analog,
optical, coaxial, and multichannel.
When choosing
a connection format, bear in mind that
the
AV
receiver doesn't convert between formats.
Forexample, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL
or
COAXIAL digital input are not output by the analog
TAPE OUT, so
if
you want to record from, for example,
your CD player, in addition to connecting it to a digital
input, you must also connect it to the analog CD IN.
