Video Equipment Connections

Video equipment is connected in the same man- ner as audio components. Again, the use of high- quality interconnect cables is recommended to preserve signal quality. To ensure best video performance S-Video sources should be connected to the AVR only with their S-Video In/Outputs, not with their composite video connectors too.

1. Connect a VCR’s audio and video Play/Out

jacks to the Video 2 In jacks on the rear panel. The Audio and Video Record/In jacks on the VCR should be connected to the Video 1

Out jacks

on the AVR.

2.Although any video device may be connected to these jacks, we recommend connecting your TV to the Video 1 Audio/Video Input Jacks

so that you may take advantage of the fact that the remote control is preprogrammed with TV product codes for the Video 1 device.

For the same reason, we recommend connecting your video recorder, cable TV converter or satel- lite receiver to the Video 2 Audio/Video

Input Jacks .

3. Connect the analog audio and video outputs

of a DVD to the DVD jacks

.

4.Connect the digital audio outputs of a CD, MD or DVD player, satellite receiver, cable box or HDTV converter to the appropriate Optical or

Coaxial Digital Inputs

4G.

Remember that the DVD source defaults to the Coaxial 1 Digital Input . All other sources default to their analog inputs, although any source may be assigned to any digital audio input on the receiver.

5.Connect the Composite and S-Video

(if S-Video device is in use) Monitor Output jacks on the receiver to the composite and S-Video input of your television monitor or video projector.

6.If your DVD player and monitor both have component video connections, connect the component outputs of the DVD player to the

Video 1 Component Video Inputs . Note that even when component video connections are used the audio connections must still be made to either the analog DVD Audio Inputs

or any of the Coaxial or Optical Digital

Input jacks

.

7.If another component video device is avail- able, connect it to the Video 2 Component

Video Input jacks

. The audio connections

for this device should be made to either the

Video 2 Input jacks

or any of the Coaxial

or Optical Digital Input jacks

.

8. If the component video inputs are used, connect the Component Video Output to the component video inputs of your TV, projector or display device.

9.If you have a camcorder, video game or other audio/video device that is connected to the AVR on a temporary, rather than permanent basis, connect the audio, video and digital audio out- puts of that device to the Front Panel Inputs 4GH. A device connected to the Video 3 jacks H is selected as the Video 3 input, and connected to the digital jacks 4G it is selected as "Optical 3" or "Coaxial 3" input. (See page 16 for more information on input configuration.)

Video Connection Notes:

•Y/Pr/Pb Component, RGB (see page 14), or Composite video signals may only be viewed in their native formats and will not be convert- ed to the other formats.

•All component inputs/outputs can be used for RGB signals too, in the same way as described for the Y/Pr/Pb signals, then connected to the jacks with the corresponding color.

But this is only correct as long as only the three RGB video signals are output by the video source, with a sync signal in the "G" signal only, without any sync signal output separately by the source.
