Which Connections Should I Use?

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, you must make two connections—one for audio, one for video.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by
using any one of the following video connection for-
mats: composite video, S-Video, or component video,
the latter offering the best picture quality.
A video signal connected to a V or S IN jack will be
converted—composite video to S-Video or S-Video to
composite video—but only for the MONITOR OUT
jacks, not the VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2 OUT V and S
jacks.
Note: The TX-SR603/603E/8360 can be set to upcon-
vert composite video and S-Video input signals and
output them from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (see
page 44).

Audio Connection Formats
Audio equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by
using any of the following audio connection formats:
analog, optical, coaxial, or multichannel.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that
the AV receiver doesn't convert between them. For
example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or
COAXIAL input are not output by the analog TAPE
OUT.
