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,
component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best
picture quality.
• To by-pass the upconversion, set the "Picture Mode"setting to
"Direct" (3 page 56).
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as
shown, with composite video and component video
sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output.
The composite video and component video outputs carry
their respective input signals as they are.
When you connect a video component to an HDMI or
COMPONENT input, you must assign that input to an
input selector (_ page 48).

Appendix
mSignal Selection
It signals are present at mere than one input, the inputs will
be selected automatically in the following order of priority:
HDMI, component video, composite video.
However, for component video only, regardless of whether
a component video signal is actually present, if a
component video input is assigned to the input selector,
that component video input will be selected. And if no
component video input is assigned to the input selector,
this will be interpreted as no component video signal being
present.
In the Signal Selection Example shown below, video
signals are present at both the HDMI and composite video
inputs. However, the HDMI signal is automatically
selected as the source and the video is output by the HDMI
outputs.
