Using the component video jacks

Component video should deliver superior picture quality when compared to composite or S-video. A further advantage (if your source and TV are both compatible) is progressive-scan video, which delivers a very stable, flicker-free picture. See the manuals that came with your TV and source component to check whether they are compatible with progressive-scan video. Note that it is not possible to see overlay information when you have connected using component video cables.

1Connect the component video outputs of your source to a set of component video inputs on this receiver.

There are three component video inputs; they are all freely assignable so that they can be used in conjunction with any of the audio/video input functions of the receiver.

Note that you’ll need to assign the component video input (see Assigning the component video inputs on page 89), or else you may see the S-video or composite video input instead.

•Use a three-way component video cable for the connection.

2Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT jacks on this receiver to the component video inputs on your TV or monitor.

•Use a three-way component video cable.

About the video converter

The video converter allows you to connect various video sources using composite, S-video or component video connections and the signal will be output through all of the MONITOR VIDEO OUT jacks. The only exception is component video input, which is only output from the component video output. Therefore, if you want to connect any source using component video, you must also connect your TV using component video. If several video components are connected to the same input function, the converter gives priority to component, S- video, then composite (in that order).

•You can’t see overlay information if you use different cord types for the TV and the source component.

•PAL model – With NTSC sources, you will only be able to convert from S-video to component, and not vice- versa.
