Connecting Playback
Components
Source devices are components from which a playback
signal originates, e.g., a Blu-ray Disc™ or DVD player;
a set-top box, or HDTV tuner, etc. The receiver has
several different types of input connectors for your
audio and video source devices: HDMI, composite
video, optical digital audio, coaxial digital audio and
analog audio.
Connecting HDmI Components
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.
If you have an HDMI or DVI (with HDCP) equipped
component (Blu-ray disc player, etc.), you can connect
it to this receiver using a commercially available HDMI
cable.

Connecting Video Components
You will need to make composite video connections
from your source devices that do not have HDMI video
connections. You will also need to make an audio
connection from the device to the main unit.
