Parasound Halo C1 Controller manual Connecting a Second Entertainment Zone, What You May Need

50CONNECTING THE AUDIO AND VIDEO OUTPUTS continued

Although the “No OSD” jacks do not pass on-screen display information generated by the C 1, they will pass status information coming from such source components as VCR and DVD play- ers, because that information is part of the video signal fed to the C 1.

(Note: No on-screen display is sent to the component video outputs, because on-screen display circuits reduce video bandwidth and detract from component video’s increased signal purity and picture clarity. However, OSD is available for composite and S-Video because its effect on these narrower-bandwidth signals isn’t as noticeable.)

The diagram shows cables to only three of the five component video jacks provided (the ones marked “Pr,” “Y” and “Pb”), as most home-theater video devices use only those connections. Professional video gear, computers and a few DVD players and other devices use VGA or RGB connections that require five cables (for red, green, blue, and horizontal and vertical sync). For the best possible picture quality, especially for HDTV, we recommend using cables with twist- on BNC connectors; however, adapters are provided for the more commonly available RCA-plug cables. (Note: The component video jacks on the C 1, and the plug adapters supplied, are not color-coded; however, a key to the appropriate cable colors is printed below the bottom row of component video jacks; from left to right, they are “Red,” “Green,” and “Blue”.)
