Connect the VCR’s S-VIDEO OUT (S- VIDEO output) connector and the TV’s S connector with an S-VIDEO cable, instead of connecting with a video cable.

Note that the connection with a video cable will be ignored in case you connect a VCR to the TV with both video cable and S- VIDEO cable.

If connecting a DVD player to the TV with a component video cable.

Connect three jacks (Y, Cb/Pb, Cr/Pr) in the VIDEO-2 or VIDEO-3 terminal and the DVD player’s COMPONENT (component video output) jacks with a component video cables, instead of connection with a video cable.

If connecting a device to the VIDEO-2 (COMPONENT) or VIDEO-3 (COMPONENT) terminal with a video cable.

Connect the TV’s VIDEO jack and the device’s VIDEO OUT (video output) jack with a video cable.

Then set the VIDEO-2 SETTING or VIDEO- 3 SETTING to VIDEO according to “VIDEO-

2SETTING/VIDEO-3 SETTING” on page 33.
