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,
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).
• To by-pass the upconversion, set the “ Picture Mode ” setting to
“ Direct ” (
➔
page 62 ).
■
“Monitor Out” set to “Main” or “Sub”
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as
shown, with composite video, PC IN (Analog RGB), and
component video sources all being upconverted for the
HDMI output.
Use these settings if you connect either
HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB of the AV
receiver to your TV.
The composite video and component video outputs pass
through their respective input signals as they are.
When you connect a video component to an HDMI,
COMPONENT or COMPOSITE input, you must assign
that input to an input selector (
➔
page 52 , 53 ).
■
“Monitor Out” set to “Both”
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as
shown, with composite video, PC IN (Analog RGB), and
component video sources all being upconverted for both
HDMI outputs.
Use this setting if you connect both
HDMI OUT MAIN and HDMI OUT SUB of the AV
receiver to your TV.
Note that video signals are output from both HDMI outputs
at the resolution supported by both TVs.
The composite video and component video outputs pass
through their respective input signals as they are.
When you connect a video component to an HDMI,
COMPONENT or COMPOSITE input, you must assign
that input to an input selector (

,

).
Note
• When “ Monitor Out ” is set to “ Both ”, the “ Resolution ” setting
cannot be selected.
The on-screen menus appear only on a TV that is
connected to
HDMI OUT MAIN
. If your TV is
connected to other video outputs, use the AV
receiver’s display when changing settings.
