Connecting your equipment

When making cable connections

• To avoid hum, do not lay connected cables over the

top of the receiver.

• 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 can be

output through the HDMI OUT jack. 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 The Input Setup menu on page 65),

the converter gives priority to HDMI, component, S-

Video, then composite (in that order).

• For optimal video performance, THX recommends

switching Digital Video Conversion (in Setting the

Video options on page 70) OFF.

Note

1 • If the video signal does not appear on your TV or flat screen 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 Setting the Video

options on page 70) OFF.

• The ZONE 2 video input can also be converted. For details, see Setting the Video options on page 70.
