• For best picture quality (especially with progressive DVD and other high definition sources),
choose the component video or HDMI connection to your monitor. S-Video and composite video
outputs are also provided if your monitor does not have component video inputs.
Connecting a DVD player and monitor
•To connect the video output from the DVD player to the AVR-2807, you only need to choose one
connection type. For more information about the video up conversion function ( page 14, 15).
•To connect the digital audio output from the DVD player, you can choose from either the coaxial
or optical connections. If you choose to use the optical connection, it needs to be assigned. For
more information about Digital Input Assignment ( page 47).
Audio signal flow is shown with white arrows, video signal flow is shown with gray arrows.
• The AVR-2807 is equipped with another set of input terminals for a non-DVD video disc player
(such as laser disc, VCD/SVCD, or future high definition disc player). The above connection
guidelines for DVD also apply to the VDP input.
• The AVR-2807 is equipped with HDMI terminals, so it can be connected to a DVD player or
monitor using an HDMI cable.
• The component video input and/or output terminals may be labelled differently on some monitors
or video components. Check the owner’s manuals for other components for further information.
• The COMPONENT MONITOR OUT-1 and the COMPONENT MONITOR OUT-2 can be used
simultaneously.
•Audio signals are only output from the HDMI monitor out terminal when audio signals are input
to the HDMI input terminal.
• When connecting the AVR-2807 and DVD player using an HDMI cable, also connect the AVR-
2807 and monitor using an HDMI cable ( page 19).
