Video connections
The AVR350 allows for conversion between different video formats. This means that the AVR350 can convert between composite,
For example, if you are watching a composite input from a VCR, you may view it from the
The record loops do not work from the video converter. This means that to record a

Two video output connectors are provided, one for SVideo and one for composite video. The outputs carry the same information at all times (and both may be used simultaneously, if required). Connect one of these outputs to the video input of your display device.
dq VCR IN, ds PVR IN, dt AV, ek SAT, el DVD.
Connect the composite video outputs of your source equipment to these inputs. The choice of connection to use (S‑video or composite) depends on where the signal is to be routed to: if the signal is to be used in Zone 2, then a composite connection is required; if the signal is to be used for recording (routed to a VCR, for example), then the connection type must match the connection to the recording device (i.e., if the recording device requires a S‑video signal, then a S‑video connection from the source equipment must be used).
If both connections are made, the signal from the S‑video input will be used for the main zone if no Component/RGB signal is supplied.
dp PVR OUT.
Connect one of the S‑video or composite video outputs to the video input of your VCR or PVR. The connection used must match the video type of the source you wish to record (as described above). For example: if you wish to record a S‑video signal from your satellite receiver on your VCR, the connection to the VCR must also use S‑video.
High quality (Component) video connections
These inputs are suitable for connection to component (YUV/YCrCb) or RGB outputs. These signals are usually available from a DVD player,

Note that most SCART TV inputs will require the SCART RGB status line to be controlled before the RGB signal will be displayed. The RGB trigger output will control this signal when connected to the SCART socket using a cable of the type given on page 32. These cables are available from your dealer.
