HDMI input connections
HDMI (High-Definition Multi-Media Interface) is an all digital connection that
can carry both audio and video in one cable. Direct digital transfer of audio
and video and support for various types of High Definition video content and
high resolution audio make this the best connection type to use. The 6 HDMI
inputs can be assigned to the BD/DVD,CD/Video1,Video 2,Video 3/MP3,
Aux/TV or 7.1 Direct sources (see the "Assigning HDMI sources" section for
more information).

5.1/7.1 Direct in
A Digital or HDMI input can be made to the 551R V2 for surround sound
decoding and an analogue 5.1 connection to 7.1 Direct for DVD-A/SACD
playback.
If the player is selected via the BD/DVD button you can then view its content
and decode any relevant surround sound soundtracks.
If 7.1 Direct is then pressed, the audio is now switched to come from the
players analogue outputs.
These connections are pure analogue for best sound quality and no DSP
processing or Bass and Treble adjustment by the 551R V2 is possible.
DVD-A or SACD players can be connected to the 551R V2 via its 5.1/7.1
Direct inputs allowing multi-channel music playback from these sources.

allow optional connection of Surround Back or Surround Left and Surround
Right signals for compatibility with future 7.1 sources or external decoders.
