CONNECTIONS
Video Display Connections
Connect a Video Display, Projector or TV to the M80 as shown in
Diagram 23
.
There are four types of video connections that can be made from the M80 to a typical Video Display. (Composite, S and Compo-
nent Video or HDMI.) The Video Display connection(s) will be determined by the types of inputs available on the Video Display. All
analog video inputs on the M80 are up-converted and down-converted to all video Monitor Output formats. HDMI inputs only
output as HDMI. The highest quality input available on the Video Display is the one that should be used.
Note:
The default ‘Resolution to Display’ setting is Auto. If using an HDMI connection to the Video Display, this automatically up-
converts and outputs all video input content to the Main Room Video Display at 1080p. If using component, S or composite video,
(no HDMI) the M80 will establish a 480i connection to the Video Display. See section:
Video Setup
for additional information.
HDMI
If the Video Display has an HDMI Input, it is the best choice. All video input signals will be output on the HDMI Monitor OUT.
1.
Using an HDMI Cable, connect the M80 HDMI Monitor OUT to an appropriate HDMI Input on the Video Display as shown in
Diagram 23
.
Note:
HDMI also passes digital audio signals. The Video Display audio should be turned all the way down when using the
HDMI connection to the M80 so the HDMI Audio will not interfere with the surround audio from the M80 speaker system.
Component
If the highest level input is component video, connect the M80 Component Monitor OUT to the Video Display and reconnect all
sources with HDMI connections to the M80 with component, S or composite video connections as available. The M80 does not
down-convert HDMI Video to component, S or composite video.
1.
Using a Component Video Cable with gold ends, connect the M80 Component Monitor OUT to an appropriate Component
Video Input on the Video Display as shown in
Diagram 23
. Change ‘Resolution to Display’ to 1080i or lower if necessary.

Video Display Connections
If the highest level input is S-Video, then con-
nect the M80 S-Video Monitor OUT to the Video
Display and reconnect all sources with HDMI
connections to the M80 with component, S or
composite video connections as available. All
component and composite video input will be
converted to S-Video.
1.
Using an S-Video cable, connect the M80
S-Video Monitor OUT to an appropriate S-
Video Input on the Video Display as shown in
Diagram 23
. Change ‘Resolution to Display’
to 480i.
Composite Video
If the highest quality input is composite video,
then connect the M80 Composite Video Moni-
tor OUT to the Video Display and reconnect all
sources with HDMI connections to the M80 with
component, S or composite video connections as
available. All component and S-Video input will
be down-converted to composite video.
1.
Using a composite video cable, connect
the M80 Composite Video Monitor OUT to
an appropriate Composite Video Input on
the Video Display as shown in
Diagram 23
.
Change ‘Resolution to Display’ to 480i.
