These jacks are for connecting auxiliary power amplifier.

Using auxiliary power amplifiers allows you to listen at louder volumes than with the TX-DS797 alone. If power amplifiers are used, connect each speaker to the corresponding power amplifier.

COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT

If your DVD player or other device has component video connectors, be sure to connect them to these component video connectors on the TX-DS797. The TX-DS797 has two component video input connectors to obtain the color information (Y, PB, PR) directly from the recorded DVD signal or other video component and one component video output connector to output it directly into the matrix decoder of the display device. By sending the pure DVD component video signal directly, the DVD signal forgoes the extra processing that normally would degrade the image. The result is vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike colors and crisp detail.
