To component video equipments.

Please use the connection cable suitable for the terminal form of video equipment.

•If video equipment with an S video output terminal is used, cabling by the S video cable is recommended to provide finer video quality. (If an S video input terminal and a video input terminal of AV3 connect to the monitor at the same time, S video input would govern.)

•If the OUTPUT (MONITOR) terminal is connected to an external monitor with a 75 Ohm terminal, it is possible to view the same image as on the main unit. But it is possible to monitor only the composite video signal from AV1, AV2, AV3 or AV4 input that is displayed on the screen at the time.

•If the adaptor is applied to AV4 input as shown in the drawing, it is not possible to receive RGB signal.

Applicable video signals for each input terminal (See PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS for details. )
