8.Connecting a television monitor or projector

(MONITOR OUT)

The TX-DS696 is equipped with a simple Y/C separate circuit and simple Y/C mixed circuit. Since both the signal from the S VIDEO and VIDEO inputs are output to the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO output, if the television or projector is equipped with an S video input, it is unnecessary to connect the video connectors. If it is equipped with only a video input, connect it to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO output.

If the monitor or projector is equipped with an S video output terminal, connect it to the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO terminal with an S video cable. If it does not have an S video output terminal, connect its video output terminal to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO terminal using an RCA-type video connection cable. You do not need to connect to both the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO and MONITOR OUT VIDEO terminals. If the device has component video inputs, connect them to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.

Caution:

Note that the Setup menu will only be displayed on the monitor connected to MONITOR OUT and not those connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.

9.Connecting settop box or video camera, etc. (VIDEO 4)

If the device is equipped with an S video output terminal, connect it to the S VIDEO 4 IN terminal with an S video cable.
