Audio Connection Formats
Audio components can be connected by using any of the
following audio connection formats: analog, analog
multichannel, optical, coaxial or HDMI.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the
AV receiver does not convert digital input signals for analog
line outputs and vice versa. For example, audio signals
connected to an optical or coaxial digital input are not output
by the analog VCR/DVR OUT.
If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will
be selected automatically in the following order of priority:
HDMI, digital, analog.
