Connecting Video Components

Model 975 Video Connections
Component
Video Jacks
The Model 975 has two sets
of component input jacks
and one set of output jacks
for making connections to
your video devices
The Model 975 can, and is, recommended to become the
command center for all of your Audio and Video devices.
HDMI connectivity makes this possible and easier than be-
fore. In the past the audio was sent through the AV possessor
and the video was sent separately to the display device (TV).
With HDMI, this is no longer necessary as it carries both High
Definition Audio and Video on a single cable. Connecting the
video in this fashion will not decrease the quality of the video
signal, as the Model 975 can pass video through as "native"
with no video processing at all, or you can elect to Auto Scale
legacy Video devices up to HD (see below).
Before making connections to any video devices, it will
help to understand how the Model 975 routes the video
portion of the signal through its video section.
¼
All incoming video signals, including Component
and Composite video, will be upscaled and appear
at the HDMI output only if the "Autoscale" option is
selected in the Video Output menu for that source.
If an input's video output option is set to "Native",
the incoming video signal will appear at the HDMI
output in its standard video resolution.

HDMI
Connect the HDMI output of the source device to one of the
HDMI inputs on the Model 975. This is the only connection
you need to make from the source device to the Model
975. Note which HDMI input you connected on your system
chart, because you will have to configure the input later
through the on-screen menu. If you have an older DVD
player, cable box, or game system that does not support
HDMI, you will need to use one of the analog or digital
connectors described below. This is the only Output Video
connection that carries the OSD menu.
