If you connect a video component to a COMPONENT VIDEO IN, you must assign that input to an input selector. For example, if you connect your DVD player to COMPONENT VIDEO IN 3, you must assign COM- PONENT VIDEO IN 3 to the DVD input selector.

By default, the DVD input selector is assigned to COM- PONENT VIDEO IN 1, and all of the other input selec- tors (i.e., VCR/DVR, CBL/SAT, GAME/TV, AUX 1, AUX 2, TAPE, CD, PHONO) are assigned to the “- - -” option.

If you’ve connected your TV to the AV controller with a component video cable, you can set the AV controller so that composite video and S-Video sources are upcon- verted (*) and output by the COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT 1 or 2. You can set this for each input selector by selecting the “- - -” option.
