Connecting video devices (such as BD/DVD players)

Connect video devices such as BD/DVD players, set-top boxes (STBs) and game
consoles to the unit. Depending on the video/audio output jacks available on your video
device, choose one of the following connections. We recommend using an HDMI
connection if the video device has an HDMI output jack.
• Videos input to the unit via HDMI cannot be output to a TV connected to the unit with a cable other than
HDMI. For details, refer to "Video signal flow" (p.146).
• The following explanation is based on the assumption that you have not changed the "Input Assignment"
setting (p.123) in the "Setup" menu. As necessary, you can assign the COMPONENT VIDEO (A , B , C ),
COAXIAL (a, b, f) and OPTICAL (c, d, e) jacks to another input source.
• If you make more than one audio connection for one input source, an audio signal played back on the unit
will be determined according to the "Audio Select" setting (p.99) in the "Option" menu.
