Connecting video components

Connect your video components to the jacks as shown below. With digital video components (like a DVD player), you must use the connections shown on this page for the video signal, but in order to hear a digital source (like a DVD) you should hook up the audio to a digital input (see page 16). It is also a good idea to hook up your digital components with analog audio connections (see page 17).

For better quality video, you can hook up using the component video jacks or the S-video jacks (quality descends in this order) on the rear of the receiver instead of the regular video jacks. See About the video converter on page 15 if you plan on connecting your other video components using different types of video cables than for your TV.

When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet.

• The arrows indicate the direction of the signal.
