Video connections
For best picture quality we recommend making a HDMI connection, then
in declining order of quality, Component video connections, S-Video
connections and then Composite video connections.
To use HDMI (digital connection), see the next section below. For analog
video, use one of the following three types of connections:
1. Composite - connect with single 75 ohm video phono cable (RCA-
RCA).
2. S-Video - connect with S-Video cable.
3. Component - connect with 75 ohm Component video cables (3RCA-
3RCA).

HDMI connections
HDMI (High-Definition Multi-Media Interface) is an all digital connection
that can carry both audio and video in one cable. Direct digital transfer
of video and support for various types of High Definition video content
make this the best connection type for picture quality. The two HDMI
inputs can be assigned to any one of the DVD, Video 1, Video 2, CD/Aux,
Tape/MD and 6.1 Direct inputs (see the ‘Assigning HDMI sources’
section of this manual for more information).
The 540R v3 routes the HDMI outputs of DVD players, set-top boxes etc
to the TV/Monitor without any internal processing. Consult both the
source and TV's manuals to find out how to set the best modes for best
picture quality. As the 540R v3 only routes/switches HDMI it is not
involved in these settings itself.

HDMI cable
DVD player with HDMI output
TV/Monitor with HDMI input
The sources will also normally supply audio to the TV/Monitor over the
HDMI connection, this will be separate from the audio that the 540R v3
decodes.
In order for the 540R v3 itself to receive audio (Including surround-
sound) from HDMI (or DVI) sources a Co-aaxial (SPDIF) or Optical (Toslink)
digital audio connection must be made from each source to the 540R v3.
DVI switching can be supported simply by using DVI to HDMI adaptors as
these two connection types are compatible. When using DVI only video will
be passed to the TV/Monitor. Again a Co-axial (SPDIF) or Optical (Toslink)
digital audio connection must be made from each source to the 540R v3
for it to be able to receive audio and decode surround sound etc.
Example: HDMI DVD player assigned to
DVD input.
Video player OR games console
OR
Note: The 540R v3 does not convert
between video types.
