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 22).

•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.

•Even if the recording components are connected to the receiver using the S-video cords and the playpack components are connected to the receiver using the composite video cords, you can record the picture on TV.

•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—and one DIGITAL OUT terminal.

To reproduce the digital sound, use the digital connection in addition to the analog connection methods described on pages 7 to 10.

Digital coaxial cable (not supplied)

Digital optical cable (not supplied)

Turn off all components before making connections.

•When you connect other components, refer also to their manuals.

7Digital input terminals

When the component has a digital coaxial output terminal, connect it to the 1(DVR/DVD) terminal, using a digital coaxial cable (not supplied).

DIGITAL IN

1(DVR/DVD) 2(DBS) 3(VCR)

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 22.

•Select the correct digital input mode. See “Selecting the analog or digital input mode” on page 14.

•When you want to operate the connected component (except DBS tuner) using the AV COMPU LINK remote control system (see pages 34 and 35), connect them also as described on pages 7 to 10.

7Digital output terminal

You can connect any digital components which have an optical digital input terminal.

DIGITAL OUT

PCM/STREAM

Connecting digital recording equipment to the DIGITAL OUT terminal enables you to perform digital-to-digital recording.

NOTE

The digital signal format transmitted through the DIGITAL OUT terminal is the same as that of the input signal. For example, when the DTS signals are input, the DTS signals are transmitted.
