Connection Tips And Video Signal Path - Onkyo HT-S6500 Instruction Manual

Connection Tips and
Video Signal Path
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 components. Use the following sections as a guide.
The on-screen menus appear only on a TV that is
connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected
to other video outputs, use the AV receiver's display
when changing settings.
Note
• The on-screen menus are displayed when:
– There is no video input, or
– The video input is 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p.
Video Connection Formats
Video components can be connected by using any one of
the following video connection formats: composite video,
component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best
picture quality.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the
AV receiver doesn't convert between formats, so only
outputs of the same format as the input will output the
signal.
