Note:

The ZIST circuit (see page 1) is incorporated for the EXT 7.1CH IN jacks to clarify the audio signals independently from the video input circuit. However, if the external component connected to the EXT 7.1CH IN jacks and this receiver are not connected using video cords (composite, S- video, or component), noise may happen to be generated when listening to this external component.

In this case, connect the video output jacks on the external component and unused video input jacks on this receiver.

How to view the pictures through an external component connected to the EXT 7.1CH IN (audio input) jacks

The EXT 7.1CH IN jacks do not have any corresponding video input jack on the rear. You have to use one of the following methods to view the pictures through the external component.

Connect the video output jack on the external component directly to the TV, and select the connected input on the TV.

Connect the video output jack on the external component to any one of unused video input jacks on the rear, then...

1.Select that video input as the video source.2.Select “EXT 7.1CH” as the audio source.(See “Selecting different sources for picture and sound” on page 20).Video component connectionsUse 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) jacks, connect them using an S-video cable (not supplied) and/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.

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, observe the following points when make connections:

Composite video signals and S-video signals can be converted into each other, and can be also converted into component signals. So incoming signals of both types can be emitted through all video output jacks. (If both signals are used, the unit automatically gives priority to S-video signals.)

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.

When the recording components and this unit are connected using the video cords or S-video cords, playback components and this unit need to be connected using the cords of the same type.

Component signals cannot be converted. So incoming signals of this type can be emitted only through the component output jacks.

The VIDEO input terminals on the front panel are convenient when connecting and disconnecting the component frequently.

When you do not use the VIDEO input terminals, attach the front terminal cover (supplied) to these jacks to protect them from dust.
