Figure 6 – Video Connections

Dashed lines (

– – – –

) indicate coaxial and optical digital audio connections. Choose either type 

(but not both) for each digital audio source.
Dotted lines (

••••

) indicate component, composite or S-video connections. Component video is 

the preferred connection when available, but you may use any of the three types (but not more 
than one). When component, composite and S-video sources are connected to the AVR, you must
also connect all outputs from the AVR to your TV.
