Which Connections Should I Use?

you choose will depend on the formats supported by your other components. Use the following sections as a guide.

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,
