USER GUIDE
Connections
All of the video and audio outputs on your receiver offer good quality. Pick one of each from
the list below, based on the connectors your TV supports; they are listed in order, with the
highest quality options at the top of each list.
WARNING:
Do not connect your receiver (or any other
equipment such as a TV or VCR) to the AC power
supply until you have properly connected all the
other cables.
- HDMI [High-Definition Multimedia Interface, one connector per receiver] provides the best digital video and digital audio in one
connector.
- Component Video Output (YPbPr, one set per receiver) provides high-quality video, but does not provide audio. You will need to
connect audio separately using the digital audio or RCA audio connectors.
- S-video (one connector per receiver) provides good video, but does not provide audio. You will need to connect audio separately using
the digital audio or RCA audio connectors.
- RCA jacks (two sets per receiver) provide good video and usually come bundled with three cables for one video and two audio
channels.
Video Connections
- HDMI [High-Definition Multimedia Interface] provides the best digital video and audio in one connector.
- Digital Audio Optical (one connector per receiver) provides excellent quality digital audio and is often used on newer surround sound
and DVD equipment.
- Digital Audio Coax (one connector per receiver) provides high quality digital audio and is also found on newer surround sound and
DVD equipment.
- RCA jacks provide good audio quality and are found on older auxiliary equipment.
- There are so many makes and models of TVs and auxiliary equipment, it is impossible to fully describe all of the possible connections
between them and your receiver. Refer to the manuals for that equipment to see the connection options specific to each make and
model. The following images show examples of how your receiver may be connected, using the supported video and audio connections
for the TV, the surround sound, and the DVD player/burner or VCR.
