Installation and Connections
5.Connect the Composite and
6.If your DVD player and monitor both have component video connections, connect the com- ponent outputs of the DVD player to the DVD 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 %$.
7.If another component video device is available, connect it to the Video 2 Component Video Input jacks . The audio connections for this device should be made to either the Video 2 Input jacks or any of the Coaxial or Optical Digital Input jacks %$.
8.If the component video inputs are used, con- nect 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 *ÓÔ. A device connected to the Video 4 jacks Ô is selected as the Video 4 input, and connected to the digital jacks *Ó it is selected as "Optical 3" or "Coaxial 3" input. (See page
21for more information on input configuration.)
Video Connection Notes:
•Y/Pr/Pb Component, RGB (see page 17),
•When the component video jacks are used, the
•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.
SCART A/V Connections
For the connections described above your video device needs RCA (cinch) connectors or/and S- Video connectors for all Audio and Video signals: Any normal video device (Not SVHS or High 8) for only playback needs 3 RCA jacks, VCRs for record and playback even 6 RCA jacks. Any S- Video device (SVHS, High 8) needs 2 RCA (Audio) and 1
2
Many european video devices are equipped with RCA (Cinch) or
In that case the following Scart to Cinch adapters or cables are needed:
•Units for playback, such as satellite receivers, camcorders, DVD or LD players, need an adapter from Scart to 3 RCA plugs, see fig. 1 (normal video devices) or from Scart to 2 RCA+1
•HiFi VCRs need an adapter from Scart to 6 RCA plugs, see fig. 2 (normal video), or from Scart to 4
•If you use only normal video devices the TV monitor needs an adapter from 3 RCA plugs to Scart (fig. 3) only. If also
Note that only the video plugs (the "yellow" cinch plug in fig. 3 and the
6)must be connected to the TV Monitor Output , and the volume on the TV must be reduced to minimum.
Important Note for Adapter Cables:
If the cinch connectors of the adapter you’ll use are labeled, connect the Audio and Video ”In” plugs with the corresponding Audio and Video ”In” jacks on the AVR 4500 (and with a VCR connect the ”Out” plugs to the ”Out” jacks on the AVR). Note that with some adapter types it may be just turned around: If no signal is audi- ble/ visible when the VCR is playing connect the “Out” plugs to the ”In” jacks on the AVR and turned around. If the adapter plugs are not labeled in that way, pay attention to the signal flow directions as shown in the diagrams above and in the instruction attached to the adapter. If uncertain, don’t hesitate to consult your dealer.
Important Notes for S-Video connections:
1.Only the
When both connections are made, only the
2.Like most common AV units the AVR 4500 does not convert the Video signal to
