COMPONENT / RGB

 

Component/RGB video connectors

These inputs are suitable for connection to source devices which output Component (YUV or YPbPr) or RGB high quality analogue video signals. These signals are usually available from DVD players, set-top boxes or games consoles.

If you are connecting up to an RGB source you will also need to connect the source’s Composite output to the unit’s Composite input to act as a video sync. The Composite signal should be on the same named input as the RGB signals.

RGB video outputs on source equipment are often on SCART connectors. You will need to use a SCART to ‘RGB+Sync on phono’ breakout cable, available from your Arcam dealer.

Connect this output to the Component video input of your display device.

NOTE

Analogue RGB video output is not available from the AVR500, AVR600 or AV888. The analogue three-wire high quality video output is always configured as Component video.

These are recording outputs. Connect these to the ‘S-Video in’ or ‘Composite in’ sockets (usually labelled ‘RECORD’) on your recording device.
