Which Connections Should I Use?

The AV controller 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 an audio connection and a video connection.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the AV controller by using any one of the following video connection formats:
composite video, S-Video, component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.
The AV controller can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the HDMI Monitor setting,
which generally determines whether video signals are upconverted for the component video output or the HDMI output.
For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconver-
sion (e.g., component video input through to component video output). It's also recommended that you set the
Immediate Display preference to Off (page 105).
■ HDMI Monitor Setting Set to Main or Sub
With the HDMI Monitor setting set to Main or
Sub (see page 45), video input signals flow
through the AV controller as shown, with com-
posite video, S-Video, and component video
sources all being upconverted for the HDMI
output. Use this setting if you connect the AV
controller's HDMI OUT to your TV.
The composite video, S-Video, and component
video outputs pass through their respective
input signals as they are.
