To convert composite video and S-video signal into component video signal, set the “DVD VIDEO IN,” “VCR VIDEO IN,” or “DBS VIDEO IN” to “<S/C>” (see page 25).

•If using composite video cable for connecting to the video input and using S-video cable for connecting to the video output, the video signal is converted into S-video signal automatically. The signal is emitted through the S-video output jacks of MONITOR OUT, VCR OUT (REC), and DVR OUT (REC).

•Pictures may be distorted if the signals are converted. If this happens, connect the playback source component and TV using the cords of the same type.

•Incoming signal of component can be emitted only through the component output jacks.

Digital connection

This receiver is equipped with three DIGITAL IN terminals—one digital coaxial terminal and two digital optical terminals.

To reproduce the digital sound, use the digital connection in addition to the analog connection methods described on pages 7 to 9.

When the component has a digital optical output terminal, connect it to the 2(DBS) or 3(VCR) terminal, using a digital optical cable (not supplied).

Before connecting a digital optical cable, unplug the protective plug.

NOTES

•When shipped from the factory, the DIGITAL IN terminals have been set for use with the following components:

– 1(DVR/DVD):

For DVD recorder or DVD player

– 2(DBS):

For DBS tuner

– 3(VCR):

For VCR

If you connect other components, change the digital input (DIGITAL IN) terminal setting correctly. See “Setting the digital input (DIGITAL IN) terminals—DIGITAL IN 1/2/3” on page 25.

•Select the correct digital input mode. See “Selecting the analog or digital input mode” on page 12.

•When you want to operate the connected component (except DBS tuner) using the AV COMPU LINK remote control system (see pages 35 and 36), connect them also as described on pages 7 to 9.

Connecting the power cord

•Do not alter, twist or pull the power cord, or put anything heavy on it, which may cause fire, electric shock, or other accidents.

•If the cord is damaged, consult a dealer and have the power cord replaced with a new one.

NOTES

•Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference.

•The preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustment may be erased in a few days in the following cases:

–When you unplug the power cord.
