•For your reference, the excellence in picture quality is as follows : “COMPONENT” >“S-VIDEO”>“COMPOSITE” .

•When making COMPONENT VIDEO connections, connect “Y” to “Y”, “CB” to “CB”(or “B-Y”, “PB”) and “CR” to “CR”(or “R-Y”, “PR” ).

•When connecting to video recording component such as video deck, DVD recorder, etc . or TV for ROOM 2, you must use the same type of video jacks that you did connect to video playback components such as DVD player, LD player, etc.

•This unit is equipped with a function that up-converts composite video or S-Video signals to component video signals or down- converts S-Video signals to composite video signals and outputs them from the MONITOR OUTs. Because of this, one of three types of MONITOR OUT jacks can be connected to the monitor TV regardless of how the video components are connected to VIDEO IN jacks of this unit.

•Connect the video components, referring to the following table.
