Connecting AV Components —Continued
By connecting the audio and video outputs of your DVD player and other video components to the TX-LR552, you can
select both the audio and video source simultaneously simply by selecting the appropriate input source on the
TX-LR552.
The TX-LR552 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, you must make two connections—one for the audio, one for the video.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the TX-LR552 by
using any one of the following video connection formats:
composite video, S-Video, or component video, the
latter offering the best picture quality.
A video signal connected to a V or S IN jack will be con-
verted—composite video to S-Video or S-Video to com-
posite video—but only for the MONITOR OUT jacks,
not the VIDEO 1 OUT V and S jacks.
Moreover, the TX-LR552 can be set to upconvert com-
posite video and S-Video input signals and output them
from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (see page 30).
Audio Connection Formats
Audio equipment can be connected to the TX-LR552
using the following audio connection formats: analog,
optical, coaxial, and multichannel.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that
the TX-LR552 doesn’t convert between formats.
For example, audio signals connected to an OPT or
COAX digital input are not output by the analog
VIDEO 1 AUDIO 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
AUX IN.
