Connect the unit to a TV equipped with stereo audio input and video input jacks using the supplied audio/video cables.

•If your TV has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you need to use an optional audio cable which converts stereo audio output to monaural.

•If your TV has an S-video input, you should connect it with the S-VIDEO output of the unit using the S-video cable (optional) in addition to the (standard) video connection to get better picture quality.

Enabling the S-VIDEO output or the VIDEO output

For your TV connection, you can use either the S-video output or the component video output at a time.

When you use the S-VIDEO jack or the VIDEO jack, set the VIDEO OUT SELECT (COMPONENT/S-VIDEO) switch on the rear panel to “S-VIDEO AND VIDEO”. (For XV-S400BK/XV-S402SL, the VIDEO jack is enabled regardless of this switch position.) Then, “S-VIDEO” appears on the display window for a few seconds.

NOTES

•Connect VIDEO OUT of the unit directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the unit to a TV via a VCR may cause a monitor problem when playing back a copy-protected disc.

•Connect the unit to an NTSC television. Do not connect the unit to a PAL television.

•When you use the S-VIDEO or VIDEO signal connection, no picture will appear if setting is made to COMPONENT. In this case, switch the setting to S-VIDEO.
