Connections

*In the following description, “TV” may be substituted with “monitor” or “projector.” *Before using the unit, you have to connect the unit to a TV and/or amplifier.

*In the following connection examples, the rear panel drawing of the unit is based on XV-521BK/523GD/525BK. The XV-421BK rear panel looks different.

Before making any connections

•Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.

•Since different components often have different terminal names, carefully read the instructions supplied with the component you are going to connect.

Getting	started

Connect the unit to a TV equipped with stereo audio input and video input jacks using the supplied audio/video cables.

•If your TV has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you need to use an optional audio cable which converts stereo audio output to monaural.

•If your TV has an S-video input, you should connect it with the S-VIDEO output of the unit using the supplied S- video cable in addition to the (standard) video connection to get better picture quality.

NOTES

•Connect VIDEO OUT of the unit directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the unit to a TV via a VCR may cause a monitor problem when playing back a copy-protected disc.

•Connect the unit to an NTSC television. Do not connect the unit to a PAL television.
