[. . . ] However, your processor does not provide digital outputs for non-digital inputs. If you wish make a digital recording from an analog-only source you must also connect analog from your processor (Tape or V1 out) to your recorder. Can I connect a phonograph directly to my processor? No, you will need a separate outboard phono preamplifier. The output of the phono preamp can then be connected to any analog input on your processor. In addition to its superb analog audio processing, it has an option for S/PDIF coax output. Talk to the dealer where you purchased your processor. Do I need to connect both S-video and composite video to my processor? If all of your video equipment has S-video then you need only connect S-video. S-video is a higher quality video format and you will probably not want to use composite. If all or most of your video equipment is composite then it is simplest to just connect the composite and omit S-video. Can I connect mixed composite and S-video sources? Yes, but your processor will not convert S-video to composite or composite to S-video. If your monitors and VCRs accept only composite video then there is no point in connecting S-video from other sources. If you use mixed S-video and composite sources you must connect both S-video and composite to your monitors and VCRs. You will need to change your monitor or VCR S-video / composite inputs manually when you change sources. This can normally be done via the monitor's or VCR's remote control (or the supplied universal remote). Some monitors or VCRs may require you to physically disconnect S-video before they will accept composite video. Some monitors are capable of automatic switching between S-video and composite. Your processor must be setup properly in order to work with auto switching monitors - refer Setup Displays. To assist you, the processor's on-screen display will tell you what video is currently selected whenever you change sources or hit the SEL (remote) or ENTER (remote or front panel) key, but it cannot switch your monitor or VCR input for you. If you are watching S-video, but the source is composite video only, you will see "Switch Monitor to Composite" on your Monitor. If you are watching Composite video but your source is S-video only, you will see "Switch Monitor to S-video" on your monitor. These displays appear only if your processor is setup for manual monitors. Can I connect mixed composite and S-video monitors and VCRs? Yes, but you must connect both S-video and composite from all of your sources - your processor will not convert between S-video and composite. Refer to the previous question if not all of your sources have both Svideo and composite outputs. For example, it is common to have an S-video monitor and a composite VCR. Connect the monitor to the Zone 1 S-video and composite outputs and the VCR to the V1 or TAPE composite output. The composite inputs will appear at the composite outputs for TAPE and V1.
