Connecting Your Equipment

Connecting your TV

Connect your TV to the jacks as shown below. Hook up with either component video, S video, or compos- ite video cords (the quality descends in this order) but you must use the same type of video cords to hook up your DVD player (and all other video components) as you use to hook up your TV. Com- posite video cords, which look just like regular RCA audio cords (see p.20) but have only one cable and connector, are the most common.

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

S VIDEO

S video cables produce clearer picture reproduction by sending separate signals for the luminance and the color. These jacks are labeled by the Japanese designation "S2" on the VSX-47TX but they are simply S video jacks.

Green

Red

Y PB PR

The video signal is divided into the luminance (Y) signal and the color (PB and PR) signals. In this way, interference between the signals is avoided.

Composite Video

Composite video cords are the most common or standard video cord but also the loest quality. The color on the connector is yellow to distinguish it from regular RCA audio cords which have white and red connectors (see p.20). It is important to use a true composite video cord and not an audio cord (though they look exactly the same) because the impedance is different and this will affect the picture quality.

Component Video Input Default Settings

If you use component video cords to hook up your video equipment it is easiest to do so following the default settings, which are listed below. Remember you must use component video cords from your video source (for example, a DVD player) to the receiver and from the receiver to your TV (or monitor). If you don't follow the default settings below you must assign the inputs you used with the "Assigning the Component Video Inputs" procedure. See page 89 to do this.

The default settings are:
