Figure 5 – Video Connections
Dashed lines (– – – –) indicate coax and optical digital audio connections. Choose either type
(but not both) for each digital audio source.
Dotted lines (••••) indicate component, composite or S-Video connections. Component video is
the preferred connection when available, but you may use any of the three types (but not more
than one). When component, composite and S-Video sources are connected to the AVR, you must
also connect all outputs from the AVR to your TV.
