Connections
HDMI Devices
If any of your source devices have HDMI connectors, using them will provide the best
possible video and audio performance quality. Since the HDMI cable carries both digital
video and digital audio signals, you do not have to make any additional audio connections
for source devices you connect via HDMI connectors.

Component Video Devices
If any of your video source devices have component video connectors (and do not have
HDMI connectors), using the component video connectors will provide superior video
performance. You will also need to make an audio connection from the source device
to the AVR.

Composite Video Devices
Use composite video connectors for video source devices that don’t have HDMI or
component video connectors. You will also need to make an audio connection from the
source device to the AVR.

Optical Digital Audio Devices
If your non-HDMI source devices have optical digital outputs, connect them to the AVR’s
optical digital audio connectors. NOTE: Make only one type of digital connection (HDMI,
optical or coaxial) from each source device.
