Component video cables (VSX-1022 only)

Use component video cables to get the best possible color reproduction of your video source. The color signal of the TV is divided into the luminance (Y) signal and the color (PB and PR) signals and then output. In this way, interference between the signals is avoided.

• 3D, Deep Color, x.v.Color signal transfer and Audio Return

Channel are only possible when connected to a compatible

component.

• HDMI format digital audio transmissions require a longer

time to be recognized. Due to this, interruption in the audio

may occur when switching between audio formats or

beginning playback.
