The jacks on the back of your receiver (shown above) 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 are connecting to, so the sound from the component comes into the receiver (and out through the speakers).

Video cables

Composite video cable (included)

The basic Video jack (color- coded yellow) is also referred to as composite video.

Component video cables (Pr, Pb, Y) (not included) The Y, Pb, Pr jacks provide optimum picture quality by separating the video signal into three parts. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables 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).

Audio cables (not included) AUDIO IN L (left) and AUDIO IN R (right)

These jacks and cables are often color-coded (red=right

audio, white=left audio).

Notes:

If your television is a high definition television, use the unit's progressive scan output to get the highest possible video resolution. Set the Progressive Scan option in the Video menu to On. See page 20.

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

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.
