About the audio connection

There are several types of audio input and output
terminals on this receiver. The receiver selects
the first available signal in the following order
when you choose AUTO as the input signal:
Types of cables and
terminals
HDMI
Digital (Coaxial)
Digital (Optical)
RCA (Analog)
(White/Red)
• With an HDMI cable, video and audio
signals can be transferred in high quality
over a single cable.
CAUTION
• When connecting optical cables, be careful
when inserting the plug not to damage the
shutter protecting the optical socket.
• When storing optical cable, coil loosely.
The cable may be damaged if bent around
sharp corners.
Note
1 • If the video signal does not appear on your TV, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or display.
Note that some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be converted. In this case, try
switching Digital Video Conversion (in Setting the Video options on page 70) OFF.
• The signal input resolutions that can be converted from the component video input for the HDMI output are 480i/
576i, 480p/576p, 720p and 1080i. 1080p signal cannot be converted.
• Only signals with an input resolution of 480i/576i can be converted from the component video input for the
composite MONITOR OUT.

About the video converter

The video converter ensures that all video
sources are output through all of the
MONITOR OUT jacks. The only exception is
HDMI: since this resolution cannot be
downsampled, you must connect your
monitor/TV to the receiver's HDMI video
outputs when connecting this video source.
If several video components are assigned to
the same input function (see The Input Setup
menu on page 40), the converter gives priority
to HDMI, component, then composite (in that
order).
