2.1 VIDEO CONNECTIONS

To configure inputs see section 3.5 and to configure video outputs see section 3.1.

HDMI:

Video is sent with audio from source components to the receiver. Maximum video resolution is 1080p60.

Connect MAIN HDMI output to a display with HDMI input – one with High-bandwidth Digital Content

Protection (HDCP) is required to display copy-protected material. Note that disc players usually enable

HDCP even on home movies where copy protection was not seleced.

Before calling for technical support due to bad, intermittent, or no picture via HDMI:

1080p uses twice the bandwidth that 720p and 1080i do – make sure that the cable is suitable for the

application otherwise the picture may contain pixel dropouts or not play at all.

Use High Speed HDMI cables. This is a requirement for all connecting devices including extenders

when connecting a display that supports 1080p. Connecting devices that worked in an older setup may

not work with Deep Color. If the source allows Deep Color to be turned off, start troubleshooting by

turning it off. 12-bit Deep Color that works at 1080p24 may not work at 1080p50 or 1080p60.

Be careful when connecting HDMI cables. The connector should easily slide in the jack – do not insert

it on an angle and do not force it. Each connector contains 19 delicate pins and damaged pins can

damage jacks. Such damaged jacks are not covered by warranty. If your HDMI cables have been

connected enough times that they are about to wear out, we recommend that you replace them.

If using adapters and are having a connection problem, start troubleshooting by eliminating the adapter.

Cable and satellite receivers: Many disable their component video output once HDMI is connected. To

use the cable/satellite box in a secondary zone that uses component video, connect the box to the

receiver via component, not HDMI.

Older cable and satellite receivers: HDMI connection may be problematic especially when output

resolution changes between SD, 720p, and 1080i according to the channel. In such a case use

component video connection instead, with coaxial or optical connection for audio.

Component Video:

Component video uses three coaxial cables and has a maximum resolution of 1080p when unprocessed or

480p when the source is copy-protected with Macrovision. Maximum input resolution is 1080i60 where the

input is processed or converted to HDMI.

Composite Video:

Maximum resolution is 480i (NTSC) / 576i (PAL). This traditional format combines the black/white and color

information for transmission on a single coaxial cable. To be displayed, the information has to be filtered and

separated, a process that degrades video quality.
