Connection Tips And Video Signal Path - Integra DTR-50.4 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 setup menus appear only on a TV that
is connected to HDMI OUT MAIN. If your TV is
connected to other video outputs, use the AV
receiver's display when changing settings.
Video Connection Formats
Video components can be connected by using any one of
the following video connection formats: composite video,
PC IN (Analog RGB), component video, or HDMI, the
latter offering the best picture quality.
The AV receiver can upconvert between video formats,
depending on the "Monitor Out" setting (➔ page 55),
which generally determines whether video signals are
upconverted for the component video output or the HDMI
output.
Tip
• For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video
signals pass through the system without upconversion (e.g.,
component video input passing through to component video
output).
• To by-pass the upconversion, set the "Picture Mode" setting to
"Direct" (➔ page 68).
■
"Monitor Out" set to "Main" or "Sub"
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as
shown, with composite video, PC IN (Analog RGB), and
component video sources all being upconverted for the
HDMI output. Use these settings if you connect either
HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB of the AV
receiver to your TV.
The composite video and component video outputs pass
through their respective input signals as they are.
When you connect a video component to an HDMI,
COMPONENT or COMPOSITE input, you must assign
that input to an input selector (➔ page 56, 57).

"Monitor Out" set to "Both"
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as
shown, with composite video, PC IN (Analog RGB), and
component video sources all being upconverted for both
HDMI outputs. Use this setting if you connect both
HDMI OUT MAIN and HDMI OUT SUB of the AV
receiver to your TV.
Note that video signals are output from both HDMI outputs
at the resolution supported by both TVs.
The composite video and component video outputs pass
through their respective input signals as they are.
When you connect a video component to an HDMI,
COMPONENT or COMPOSITE input, you must assign
that input to an input selector (➔ page 56, 57).
