Makesure the receiver is turned off (in Standby mode) when connectingThe Bridge.6-/8-Channel Inputs: Connect the multichannel analog audiooutputs of a DVD-Audio, SACD™, Blu-ray Disc ™ or HD-DVD ™ player(or any other external decoder) to these jacks to enjoy these proprietaryformats.NOTE: When an HD-DVD or Blu-ray Disc player has anonboard digital decoder, it is not necessary to connect it tothe 6-/8-Channel Analog Audio Inputs. Only a digital audioconnection (HDMI, coaxial or optical) is needed.Component Video Inputs: If both a video source (e.g., DVDplayer or HDTV tuner) and your television or video display have analogcomponent video (Y/Pb/Pr) capability, and if you are not using an HDMIconnection for the device, then you may connect the component videooutputs of the source to one of the two component video inputs. Donot make any other video connections to that source.Component Video Monitor Outputs: If you are using one ofthe Component Video Inputs and your television or video display iscomponent-video-capable, and if you are not connecting the HDMIOutput to your display, you may connect these jacks to the correspon-ding inputs on your video display.NOTES:• Due to copy-protection restrictions, there is no output atthe Component Video Monitor Outputs for copy-protectedsources.• High-resolution analog 1080i and 1080p video signals arenot available at the HDMI Output, but 1080i signals arepassed through, as is, to the Component Video Outputs. If yoursource outputs analog high-resolution video, either use theAVR’s Component Video Outputs, lower the output resolutionof your source device, or connect your source’s componentvideo outputs directly to your video display.• Due to the design of some video displays, analog 480p or720p component video source signals may produce artifactswhen used with the AVR’s analog video outputs (composite,S-video or component video).
