MD recorder

You can connect either an MD recorder or a cassette deck to the TAPE/MD jacks. When connecting a cassette deck, see above.

Video component connections

Use the cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).

Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, the red plug to the audio right jack, and the yellow plug to the video jack.

•If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) and/or component video (Y, PB, PR) terminals, connect them using an S- video cable (not supplied) or component video cable (not supplied). By using these jacks, you can get better picture quality in the order:

Component video > S-video > Composite video

•If your video components have digital audio output terminal, connect them using the digital cords explained in “Digital connections” (see page 14).

If your video components have an AV COMPULINK jack

See also page 53 for detailed information about the connection and the AV COMPULINK remote control system.

IMPORTANT:

This receiver is equipped with the following video jacks—composite video, S-video and component video jacks. You can use any of the three to connect a video component.

However, the video signals from one type of these input jacks are transmitted only through the video output jacks of the same type.

Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video component are connected to the receiver through the video jacks of different type, you cannot record the picture. In addition, if the TV and a playing video component are connected to the receiver through the video jacks of different type, you cannot view the playback picture on the TV.
