Connection Tips and Video Signal Path
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 components. Use the following sections as a guide.
Video components can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video,
S-Video, PC IN (Analog RGB), component video or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.
Tip
• For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconversion (e.g., component
video input passing through to component video output).
■
“Monitor Out” set to “HDMI Main” or “HDMI Sub”
Use these settings if you connect either the
HDMI OUT
MAIN
or
HDMI OUT SUB
of the AV receiver to your TV.
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown,
with composite video, S-Video, PC IN (Analog RGB) and
component video sources all being upconverted for the
HDMI OUT MAIN
.
The composite video, S-Video and component video outputs
pass through their respective input signals as they are.
■
“Monitor Out” set to “Both”, “Both(Main)” or “Both(Sub)”
Use these settings if you connect both the
HDMI OUT
MAIN
and
HDMI OUT SUB
of the AV receiver to your
TV.
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown,
with composite video, S-Video, PC IN (Analog RGB) and
component video sources all being upconverted for the
HDMI OUT MAIN
.
The composite video, S-Video and component video outputs
pass through their respective input signals as they are.
`
Both
: Video signals are output from both HDMI outputs
at the resolution supported by both TVs. You cannot
select “
Resolution
” setting.
`
Both(Main)
: Video signals are output from both HDMI
outputs but
HDMI OUT MAIN
takes priority; depending
on the resolution, video signals may not be output from
HDMI OUT SUB
.
`
Both(Sub)
: Video signals are output from both HDMI
outputs but
HDMI OUT SUB
takes priority; depending
on the resolution, video signals may not be output from
HDMI OUT MAIN
.
The on-screen menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the
HDMI OUT MAIN
. If your TV is connected to
other video outputs, use the AV receiver’s display when changing settings.
