Connecting your video components

Below is an example of how you can connect your video components to the TX-DS696. Refer to the diagram above for the following connection examples.

The flow of the video signals is as follows:

The signal that comes in from VIDEO IN is sent to VIDEO OUT and S VIDEO OUT.

The signal that comes in from S VIDEO IN is sent to S VIDEO OUT and VIDEO OUT.

The signal that comes in from COMPONENT VIDEO IN is only sent to COMPONENT VIDEO OUT.

4. Connecting a DVD player (DVD)

If the device is equipped with an S video output terminal, connect it to the DVD S VIDEO IN terminal with an S video cable. If it does not have an S video output terminal, connect its video output terminal to the DVD VIDEO IN terminal using an RCA-type video connection cable. You do not need to connect to both the DVD S VIDEO IN and DVD VIDEO IN terminals. If the device has component video outputs, connect them to one of the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks.

With the initial settings of the TX-DS696, the DVD input source is set for the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 1 jack.
