Using the component video jacks

Component video should deliver superior picture quality when compared to composite video. A further advantage (if your source and TV are both compatible) is progressive-scan video, which delivers a very stable, flicker-free picture. See the manuals that came with your TV and source component to check whether they are progressive-scan video compatible.

Note

1• VSX-817 model only – For better quality, you can also connect with S-video using the S-VIDEO DVR/VCR IN jack.

•If your video component also has a component video output, you can connect this too. See Using the component video jacks on page 16 for more on this.

2VSX-817 model only – For better quality, you can also connect with S-video using the S-VIDEO DVR/VCR OUT jack.

3If your video component doesn’t have a digital audio output, omit this step. If it only has an optical digital output, you can con- nect it to the optical input on this receiver using an optical cable. When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the component to (see The Input Assign menu on page 45).
