Getting started

Connections

Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.

Since different components often have different terminal names, carefully read the instructions supplied with the components you are going to connect.

Connecting a TV

To view pictures and on-screen displays, connect the TV to the center unit.

Distortion of picture may occur when connecting to the TV via a VCR, or to a TV with a built-in VCR.

You need to set “MONITOR TYPE” in the PICTURE menu correctly according to the aspect ratio of your TV. (A pg. 51)

7To connect a TV with the SCART connector

Connect the center unit’s AV (SCART) connector with your TV’s SCART connector using a SCART cable (not supplied).

Set the RGB-Y/C selector correctly according to your TV.

If the TV accomodates the RGB video signal, set the RGB-Y/C selector to “RGB” so that you can enjoy better-quality pictures.

If the TV accomodates the S-video signal, set the RGB-Y/C selector to “Y/C”.

If the TV accomodates the composite video signal only, set the RGB-Y/C selector to “RGB”.

NOTE

• No sound comes out from “AV” (SCART) connector.

7To connect a TV through the composite or S-video jacks

Connect the TV using the composite video cord (not supplied) or an S-video cord (not supplied).

If your TV has an S-video (Y/C-separation) jack, you can get better picture quality than by using composite video connection.

Connect the S-video cord by matching the /mark on the plug to the one on the rear of the center unit.

NOTE

When the RGB-Y/C selector is set to “RGB”, correct video signal is not output from the S-VIDEO jack on the rear panel.

Whether the RGB-Y/C selector is set to “RGB” or “Y/C”, the composite video signal is always output from the VIDEO jack of the VIDEO OUT.
