Connecting Your AV Components—Continued

Which Connections To Use?

The HT-R510 offers several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format you choose will depend on the formats supported by your AV components. Use the following sections as a guide.

When connecting video equipment, you need to make video and audio connections.

Video Connection Formats

Video equipment can be connected to the HT-R510 using the following video connection formats: composite video, S-Video, or component video, the latter offering the best picture quality.

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the HT-R510 doesn’t convert between formats, so only output connectors of the same format as the input connector will output a signal, as shown below.

For example, if you connect your DVD player to the S-VIDEO DVD IN, a video signal will be output by the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT (for your TV) and the S-VIDEO VIDEO 1 OUT (for your VCR), but not the composite video or component video outputs.

For example, audio signals connected to the OPTICAL or COAXIAL digital input are not output by the analog TAPE OUT connectors, so if you want to record from, for example, your CD player, in addition to connecting it to a digital input, you must also connect it to the analog CD IN connectors.
