About the audio connection
There are several types of audio input and 
output terminals on this receiver. The receiver 
selects the first available signal in the following 
order:
• With an HDMI cable, video and audio 
signals can be transferred in high quality 
over a single cable.
 CAUTION
• When connecting optical cables, be careful 
when inserting the plug not to damage the 
shutter protecting the optical socket.
• When storing optical cable, coil loosely. 
The cable may be damaged if bent around 
sharp corners.
About the video converter
The video converter ensures that all video 
sources are output through all of the 
MONITOR VIDEO OUT jacks. The only 
exception is HDMI: since this resolution 
cannot be downsampled, you must connect 
your monitor/TV to the receiver’s HDMI video 
outputs when connecting this video source.

If several video components are assigned to 
the same input function (see 
menu on page 39), the converter gives priority 
to HDMI, component, then composite (in that 
order).

Note
1 • If the video signal does not appear on your TV or flat panel TV, try adjusting the resolution settings on your 
component or display. Note that some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be 
converted. In this case, try switching Digital Video Conversion (in 
OFF.
• The signal input resolutions that can be converted from the component video input for the HDMI output are 480i/
576i, 480p/576p, 720p and 1080i. 1080p signals cannot be converted.
• Only signals with an input resolution of 480i/576i can be converted from the component video input for the 
composite monitor output.
