Connections

Before using the unit, connect the unit to a TV and/or amplifier.
Before making connections
• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other
connections have been made.
• 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. You may also have a monitor problem
when connecting the unit to an integrated TV/Video
system.

Connecting to a TV

The following sections A to C describe TV connections where
only a TV is connected to the unit so that you will hear audio from
the TV.
A Connecting to a conventional TV
NOTE
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.
B Connecting to a TV with an S-video jack
If your TV has an S-VIDEO input, you can get better picture
quality by connecting it with the S-VIDEO output of the unit using
an S-video cable instead of connecting the video input of the TV
to the VIDEO jack of the unit.
NOTE
When using the S-VIDEO output jack, do not connect the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the unit.
C Connecting to a TV with component jacks
You can enjoy picture of high-fidelity color reproduction by
connecting the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the unit to
your TV.
NOTES
• Connect “Y” to “Y,” “PB” to “PB” (CB), “PR” to “PR” (CR) correctly.
• When using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, do not
connect the S-VIDEO output jack on the unit.
• When the component video input jacks on the TV are of the
BNC type, use an adapter to convert a pin jack to a BNC jack
(not supplied).
• In the following description, “TV” may be substituted with
“monitor” or “projector.”
• Terminal names used for other components may be different
from those used in the following description.
