Connecting Your Components
—Continued
By connecting both the audio and video outputs of your DVD player and other AV components to the AV receiver, you
can switch the audio and video signals simultaneously simply by changing the input source on the AV receiver.
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 other components. Use the following sections as a guide.
For video components, such as a DVD player, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.
Audio Connection Formats
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video,
S-Video, or component video, the latter offering the best picture quality.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver doesn’t convert between formats, so only outputs
of the same format as the input will output the signal.
