6.If your DVD Player has Y/Pr/Pb analog compo- nent video outputs, connect them to the
Component DVD Inputs . Although this set of inputs may be assigned to any of the four video inputs on the AVR 635, the factory default is for this input to be assigned to the DVD Audio Inputs Remember to make a digital audio connection between the DVD player and the AVR, with the Coaxial Digital Input 1 being the factory default. For information on changing the input assignments for either the component video jacks or the DVD player’s audio connection, see page 20.
7.If you have other devices with Y/Pr/Pb or RGB component video outputs, connect the source device to the Component Video 1 and 2
Inputs . The audio connections may be to
any of the Video Audio Inputs | Ô or |
the Optical or Coaxial Digital Inputs | |
*Ó. When using either of the Component Video Inputs, make certain that the audio and video inputs are properly configured in the IN/OUT SETUP menu, as described on page 20.
8. If the component video inputs are used, connect the Component Video Output to the component video inputs of your TV, projector or display device.
9.If you have a camcorder, video game or other audio/video device that is connected to the AVR on a temporary, rather than permanent basis, connect the audio, video and digital audio out- puts of that device to the Front Panel Inputs *ÓÔ. A device connected to the Video 4 jacks Ô is selected as the Video 4 input, and connected to the digital jacks *Ó it is selected as "Optical 4" or "Coaxial 4" input. (See page
20for more information on input configuration.)
Video Connection Notes:
•Y/Pr/Pb Component, RGB (see page 17), or Composite video signals may only be viewed in their native formats and will not be converted to the other formats. S-Video signals will be converted to composite signal. The OSD can be viewed on the TV screen in any case, with Video or S-Video input selected on the TV.
•When the component video jacks are used, the on-screen menus will not be visible. You must switch to the standard composite or S-Video input on your TV to view those menus.
•All component inputs/outputs can be used for RGB signals too, in the same way as described for the Y/Pr/Pb signals, then connected to the jacks with the corresponding color. But this is only correct as long as only the three RGB video signals are output by the video source, with a sync signal in the "G" signal only, with- out any sync signal output separately by the source.
SCART A/V Connections
For the connections described above your video device needs RCA (cinch) connectors or/and S- Video connectors for all Audio and Video signals: Any normal video device (Not SVHS or High 8) for only playback needs 3 RCA jacks, VCRs for record and playback even 6 RCA jacks. Any S-Video device (SVHS, High 8) needs 2 RCA (Audio) and 1 S-Video jack (Video), if it´s a playback unit, or 4 RCA (Audio In/Out) and
2 S-Video (Video In/Out) jacks, if it´s a recording VCR.
Many european video devices are equipped with RCA (Cinch) or S-Video jacks only partially, not for all audio and video in/outputs needed as described above, but with a so called Scart or Euro-AV connector (almost rectangular jack with 21 pins, see drawings on next page).
In that case the following Scart to Cinch adapters or cables are needed:
•Units for playback, such as satellite receivers, camcorders, DVD or LD players, need an adapter from Scart to 3 RCA plugs, see fig. 1 (normal video devices) or from Scart to 2 RCA+1 S-Video plugs, see fig. 4 (S-Video devices).
•HiFi VCRs need an adapter from Scart to 6 RCA plugs, see fig. 2 (normal video), or from Scart to 4 Audio+2S-Video jacks, see fig. 5 (S-Video VCR). Read carefully the instruction attached to the adapter to find which of the six plugs is used for the record signal to the VCR (connect with the AVR´s Out jacks) and for the playback signal from the VCR (connect with the AVR´s In jacks). Do not misconnect Audio and Video signals. Don´t hesitate to consult your dealer, if you are uncertain.
•If you use only normal video devices the TV monitor needs an adapter from 3 RCA plugs to Scart (fig. 3) only. If also S-Video devices are used an adapter from 2 RCA+1S-Video plugs to Scart is needed additionally (fig. 6), connected to the SCART input on your TV that is provided for S-Video.
Note that only the video plugs (the "yellow" cinch plug in fig. 3 and the S-Video plug in fig. 6) must be connected to the TV Monitor Output , and the volume on the TV must be reduced to minimum.
Important Note for Adapter Cables:
If the cinch connectors of the adapter you’ll use are labeled, connect the Audio and Video ”In” plugs with the corresponding Audio and Video ”In” jacks on the AVR (and with a VCR connect the ”Out” plugs to the ”Out” jacks on the AVR). Note that with some adapter types it may be just turned around: If no signal is audible/ visible when the VCR is playing connect the “Out” plugs to the ”In” jacks on the AVR and turned around. If the adapter plugs are not labeled in that way, pay attention to the signal flow direc- tions as shown in the diagrams above and in the instruction attached to the adapter. If uncertain, don’t hesitate to consult your dealer.
Important Notes for S-Video connections:
1.Only the S-Video In/Out of S-Video devices must be connected to the AVR, NOT both, normal video and S-Video In/Outputs (except the TV, see item below).
When both connections are made, only the S-Video signal will be viewed on the screen.
2.Like most common AV units the AVR does not convert the Video signal to S-Video, only vice versa. Thus both connections must be made from the AVR to the TV if both, Video and S-Video sources, are used, and the appropriate input on the TV must be selected.
