Connecting your video components

Below is an example of how you can connect your video components to the TX-DS797. Refer to the diagram above for the following connection examples.

The flow of the video signals is as follows:

The signal that comes in from VIDEO IN is sent to VIDEO OUT and S VIDEO OUT.

The signal that comes in from S VIDEO IN is sent to S VIDEO OUT and VIDEO OUT.

The signal that comes in from COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT is only sent to COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT. When connecting a video player to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT terminals, be sure to connect your television to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT terminals.

Note:

If only the video connection for the MONITOR OUT is made, even if the input from each source component is through a component video connection, the picture will not appear. If only the S video connection for the MONITOR OUT is made, the picture will not appear.

4. Connecting a DVD player (DVD)

If the device is equipped with an S video output terminal, connect it to the DVD S VIDEO IN terminal with an S video cable. If it does not have an S video output terminal, connect its video output terminal to the DVD VIDEO IN terminal using an RCA-type video connection cable. You do not need to connect to both the DVD S VIDEO IN and DVD VIDEO IN terminals. If the device has component video outputs, connect them to one of the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks.

With the initial settings of the TX-DS797, the DVD input source is set for the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 1 jack.

If the video connection is made at COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 2, this must be changed at the Setup menu: Input Setup Video Setup

Component Video (see page 35).

Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the audio output terminal on the device to the audio DVD IN jacks on the TX- DS797. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.

If the device has a digital output jack as well, be sure to also connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT (COAX) or DIGITAL INPUT (OPT) jack on the TX-DS797 depending on the type of connector on the DVD player.
