Connecting your video components

Below is an example of how you can connect your video components to the TX-NR900/900E. Refer to the diagram above for the following connection examples.

COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT

For DVD players or other devices that have component video connectors, the TX-NR900/900E has two banks of component video input connectors (Y, PB, PR) for direct component video input. The TX-NR900/900E also has one bank of component video output connectors for direct component video output to the matrix decoder of a television, projector, or other display device. By sending the pure component video signal directly, the signal forgoes the extra processing that normally would degrade the image. The result is vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike colors and crisp detail.

VIDEO IN/OUT

These are the video inputs and outputs. On the rear panel, there are five video inputs and two video outputs and each one includes both composite video and S video configurations.

Connect VCRs, VTRs, LD players, DVD players, and other video components to the video inputs. Connect VCRs, VTRs, and other recording components to the video outputs to make video recordings.

•When connecting a VCR or other video component, make sure you connect its audio and video leads to the same bank (e.g., both to VIDEO 3).

•The VIDEO 5 inputs are located on the front panel.

The flow of the video signals is as follows:

Signals that comes in from VIDEO and S VIDEO INPUT are output to VIDEO and S VIDEO. However, signals that comes in from COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT are only output to COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT. When connecting a video player to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks, be sure to connect your television to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.

4. Connecting a DVD player (DVD)

Using an RCA video cable, connect the video output jack (composite) of the DVD or LD player to the DVD VIDEO IN jack of the TX-NR900/900E. Or if the DVD or LD player has an S video output jack, connect it to the DVD S VIDEO IN jack with an S video cable. Or if the device has component video outputs, connect them to one of the banks of COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks on the TX- NR900/900E.

With the initial settings of the TX-NR900/900E, the DVD input source is set for the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 1 jacks.

If you connect the DVD or LD player to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 2 jacks, this must be changed at Setup Menu → Input Setup

→Video Setup → Component Video (see page 53).

Using an RCA audio connection cable, connect the audio output jacks of the DVD or LD player to the DVD AUDIO IN jacks of the TX-NR900/900E. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.

If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL INPUT COAX jack or DIGITAL INPUT OPT jack of the TX- NR900/900E depending on the type of connector on the DVD player.

With the initial settings of the TX-NR900/900E, the DVD input source is set for digital input at the COAX 1 jack.

If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be changed at Setup Menu → Input Setup → Digital Setup (see page 51).
