Appendix 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 menus appear only on a TV that is connected to HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to other video outputs, use the AV receiver’s display when changing settings.
Appendix Audio Connection Formats Video Resolution Chart Audio components can be connected by using any of the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, or HDMI. When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver does not convert digital input signals for analog line outputs and vice versa. The following tables show how video signals at different resolutions are output by the AV receiver.
Appendix Using an RIHDcompatible TV, Player, or Recorder p, which stands for Remote Interactive over HDMI, is the name of the system control function found on u-capable components.
