Connecting equipment with HDMI terminals
[To convert analog video signals to HDMI signals]
The AVR-987 is equipped with a function for converting analog video signals into HDMI signals.
You can do this by either a component or a video or a S-Video connection.
•Audio signals are not output from the HDMI monitor output terminal, so also make analog or
digital audio connections. To play sound using digital audio connections, assign the digital terminal
(coaxial or optical) at “Setting the Digital In Assignment” ( page 47).
Connecting a TV tuner
For best picture quality choose the component video connection to your TV tuner. S-Video and
composite video outputs are also provided if your TV tuner does not have component video
inputs.
•To connect the digital audio output from the TV tuner, you can choose from either the coaxial or
the optical connections. If you choose to use the coaxial or the optical connection, it needs to be
assigned. For more information about Digital Input Assignment ( page 47).
Connecting a DBS tuner
For best picture quality choose the component video connection to your DBS tuner. S-Video and
composite video outputs are also provided.
•To connect the digital audio output from the DBS tuner, you can choose from either the coaxial
or optical connections. If you choose to use the coaxial connection, it needs to be assigned. For
more information about Digital Input Assignment ( page 47).
When “OFF” is set at “i/p Convert” under “Setting the HDMI Out Setup”, use a monitor
compatible with input resolutions of 480i/576i.
If your monitor is not equipped with an HDMI terminal, connect the AVR-987 to the monitor using
the component video, S-Video, or composite video terminals.
