Connecting Audio/Video Components

You can connect the following audio/video components to this system.

Refer also to the manuals supplied with your components. Audio Components: Cassette deck or MD recorder* Video Components: TV or DBS tuner*

VCRs

*You can connect these components using the methods described in “Analog connections” (see below) or in “Digital connections” (see page 9).

Analog connections —————————————

Analog component connections

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

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

CAUTION:

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

Cassette deck or MD recorder

Video component connections —————————

Use the cable 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 composite video jack. If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) terminals, connect them using S-video cable (not supplied).

Connecting these video components through the S-video input/ output terminal will give you better picture playback (or recording) quality.

IMPORTANT

This system is equipped with both the composite video and S-video input/output terminals for connecting video components.

You do not have to connect both the composite video and S-video terminals.

However, remember that the video signals from the composite video input terminals are output only through the composite video out terminals, while the ones from the S-video input terminals are output only through the S-video output terminals.

Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video component are connected to the center unit through the different video terminals, you cannot record the picture from the playing component on the recording component. In addition, if the TV and a playing video component are connected to the center unit through the different video terminals, you cannot view the playback picture from the playing component on the TV.

VCR

Notes:

When the DSP mode is ON, the VCR OUT (REC) jack and the TAPE/MD OUT (REC) jack will output surround sound to the front speakers only.

When recording, turn the DSP mode OFF (see page 21).

You can connect either a cassette deck or a MD recorder to the TAPE/MD jacks. When connecting a MD recorder to the TAPE/ MD jacks, change the source name, which will be shown on the display when selected as the source, to “MD”. See page 17 for details.

If your audio components have a COMPU LINK-3 terminal
