Connecting to audiovisual equipment

Explanation of jacks and cables

The jacks on the back of your receiver (pictured left) and the cables shown below are used to connect to other components.

The video jacks are OUT jacks, which need to be connected to IN jacks on the TV or monitor you’re connecting to (so the video content goes from the receiver to the screen). The audio jacks are IN jacks, which need to be connected to OUT jacks on the component you’re connecting to, so the sound from the component comes into the receiver (and out through the speakers).

Composite video cable

S-VIDEO cable

Component video cable

Audio cables (red and white)

Video cables

Composite video cable (included)

The basic Video jack (usually color-coded yellow) is also referred to as composite video. Usually the video cable is bundled with the audio cables (white and red).

S-VIDEO cable (not included)

The S-VIDEO(separate video) jack provides better picture quality than composite video (the VIDEO jack) because the color is kept separate from the black and white part of the video signal. If you are using S-video, you must connect the audio jacks to get sound. If you use S-video to connect to another component, you must choose the S-Video option in the Video menu (see page 20).

Component video cables Pr, Pb, Y) (not included)

The Pr, Pb, Y jacks provide optimum picture quality by separating the video signal into three parts. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables (yellow) for the connection. You can also buy bundled component video cables that are color-coded to match the Y, Pb, Pr inputs (green, blue and red). If you use component video to connect to another component, you must choose the Component option in the Video menu (see page 20).

Note: If your television is a high definition television, use the DVD player’s progressive scan output to get the highest possible video resolution. Set the Progressive Scan option in the Display menu to On (see page 20).

Note: If one of the devices is not working, check that all the cables have been inserted properly into the jacks.

Audio cables (not included)

AUDIO L (left) and R (right)

These jacks and cables are often color-coded (red for right audio, and white for left audio). You must connect audio cables to the AUDIO L and R jacks if you are using S-video.

Note: If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white L/ Mono) audio jack on the TV and don’t connect the right audio part of the cable.
