Rear-Panel Connectors

Analog Record Out connector:

 Connect this analog audio output to the analog 

audio input of a recording device. A signal is available at this output whenever an 
analog audio source is playing.

HDMI Monitor Out connector: 

If your TV has an HDMI connector, use an HDMI 

cable (not included) to connect it to the AVR’s HDMI Monitor Out connector. The 
AVR will automatically transcode component and composite video input signals to 
the HDMI format (upscaling to as high as 1080p), so you do not need to make any 
other connections to your TV from the AVR or from any of your video source devices.

Notes on using the HDMI Monitor Out connector: 

• When connecting a DVI-equipped display to the HDMI Monitor Out connector, 
use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter and make a separate audio connection.

• Make sure the HDMI-equipped display is HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content 
Protection)-compliant. If it isn’t, do not connect it via an HDMI connection; use an 
analog video connection instead and make a separate audio connection.

HDMI Input connectors:

 An HDMI connection transmits digital audio and video 

signals between devices. If your source devices have HDMI connectors, using them 
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 the HDMI connection. 
See 

Connect Your Audio and Video Source Devices

, on page 18, for more information.

Composite Video Input connectors: 

Use composite video connectors for video 

source devices that don’t have HDMI or component video connectors. You will also 
need to make an audio connection from the source device to the AVR. See 

Connect 

Your Audio and Video Source Devices

, on page 18, for more information.

Digital Audio Input connectors: 

If your non-HDMI source devices have digital 

outputs, connect them to the AVR’s digital audio connectors. NOTE: Make only one 
type of digital connection (HDMI, optical or coaxial) from each device. See 

Connect 

Your Audio and Video Source Devices

, on page 18, for more information.
