HDMI videois preferred, but both your source device and your video display musthave this type of video capability. If either device does not, then usecomponent video, S-video or composite video.Referring to Table 2, we recommend that you connect the DVD sourceto the Component Video 1 inputs, the Video 1 source to the ComponentVideo 2 inputs, and the Video 2 source to the Component Video 3 inputs.Any HDMI-capable source devices should be connected to one of thetwo HDMI inputs. All other source devices should be connected to eitherthe component, S- or composite video input for that source. However,you may make whatever video connections are best for your system.NOTE: It’s possible for a source to use none of the connectionsnamed for that source. For example, you might connect yourDVD player to the Component Video 1 inputs and the Coax 1digital audio input. However, we will refer to this source as“DVD,” and in the Initial Setup section you will program thereceiver so that these connections are assigned to the DVDsource. When you select “DVD” as your source using the frontpanel or the remote, the correct connections for your DVDplayer will be used.We recommend connecting your various sources using the connectionsshown in Table 2 (below) in order to simplify programming your receiverand remote control. However, you may connect any device to anysource input.
