AVR 156 Making Connections, continued

HDMI devices

If any of your source devices have HDMI connectors, using those connectors will provide

the best possible video and audio performance quality. Since the HDMI cable carries

both digital video and digital audio signals, you do not have to make any additional audio

connections for devices you connect via HDMI cables, although you can assign one of

the digital audio connectors to one of the HDMI inputs.

Component video devices

If your Blu-ray Disc or DVD player does not have an HDMI connector but does have a

component video connector, using the component video connector will provide superior

video performance. You will also need to make an audio connection from the player to

the AVR.

Composite video devices

You will need to make composite video connections from your source devices that

do not have HDMI or component video connectors. You will also need to connect the

source device’s analogue audio outputs to the AVR’s corresponding analogue audio

connectors.

IMPORTANT: If you connected your Blu-ray Disc or DVD player to the AVR’s DVD

Component Video Input connectors, do not connect a source device to the AVR’s DVD

Composite Video Input connector.
