Connecting video components

Do not connect the AC power plug to the wall outlet until all connections are completed.

This receiver is equipped with the following video terminals— composite video, S-video, and component video terminals.

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

Component > S-video > Composite

IMPORTANT:

This receiver can convert video signals as follows:

•Composite video signals can be converted into both S-video signals and component signals.

•S-video signals can be converted into component signals.

•Component signals cannot be converted.

When converting video signals, there are some points to observe. For details, see “About video signal conversion” on page 11.

Turn off all components before making connections.

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

DO NOT use a TV through a VCR or a TV with a built-in VCR; otherwise, the picture may be distorted.

CAUTION:

If you connect a sound-enhancing device such as a graphic equalizer between the source components and this receiver, the sound output through this receiver may be distorted.
