6-/8-Channel Inputs:
Connect the multichannel analog audio
outputs of a DVD-Audio, SACD
(or any other external decoder) to these jacks to enjoy these proprietary
formats.
NOTE: When an HD-DVD or Blu-ray Disc player has an
onboard digital decoder, it is not necessary to connect it to
the 6-/8-Channel Analog Audio Inputs. Only a digital audio
connection (HDMI, coaxial or optical) is needed.
Component Video Inputs:
player or HDTV tuner) and your television or video display have analog
component video (Y/Pb/Pr) capability, and if you are not using an HDMI
connection for the device, then you may connect the component video
outputs of the source to one of the two component video inputs. Do
not make any other video connections to that source.
Component Video Monitor Outputs:
the Component Video Inputs and your television or video display is
component-video-capable, and if you are not connecting the HDMI
Output to your display, you may connect these jacks to the correspon-
ding inputs on your video display.
NOTES:
• Due to copy-protection restrictions, there is no output at
the Component Video Monitor Outputs for copy-protected
sources.
• High-resolution 1080i and 1080p video signals are not
available at the HDMI Output, and are downconverted to
720p for the Component Video Outputs. If your source outputs
analog high-resolution video, either use the Component Video
Outputs, lower the output resolution of your source device, or
connect your source's component video outputs directly to
your video display.
• Due to the design of some video displays, analog 480p or
720p component video source signals may produce artifacts
when used with the AVR's analog video outputs (composite,
S-video or component video). If this occurs, try changing the
Video Mode setting in the INPUT SETUP menu, or connecting
the source device's video output directly to your video display.
However, for best results, we recommend you consider
upgrading to an HDMI-capable video display.
