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.
Video Connection Formats (TX-NR807)
Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver 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 receiver can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the "Monitor Out" 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 is also recommended that you press the [VCR/DVR] and [RETURN] buttons on the AV receiver at the same
time. Select "Skip" in the "VideoProcessor" setting on the display. To reset back to the original setting, press the
same button at the same time.
■ "Monitor Out" Setting Set to "HDMI"
With the "Monitor Out" setting set to "HDMI"
(see page 43), video input signals flow through
the AV receiver as shown, with composite video,
S-Video, and component video sources all being
upconverted for the HDMI output. Use this set-
ting if you connect the AV receiver's HDMI
OUT to your TV.
The composite video, S-Video, and component
video outputs pass through their respective input
signals as they are.
Note:
If not connected to HDMI OUT, the "Monitor
Out" setting will be automatically switched to
"Analog" (see page 28). In this case, the setting
of the output resolution will be that for HDMI
output (see page 46). Moreover, it will be
switched to "1080i" when "1080p" is selected,
and to "Through" when "Auto" is selected.
