Figure 5 – Video Connections

Dashed lines (

– – – –

) indicate coax 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.
