03Connecting your equipment

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 compatible with progressive-scan video.

If necessary, assign the component video inputs to the input source you’ve connected. This only needs to be done if you didn’t connect according to the following defaults:

COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1 BD

COMPONENT VIDEO IN 2 DVD

See The Input Assign menu on page 40 for more on this.

For the audio connection, refer to Connecting your component with no HDMI terminal on page 22.

Connecting other audio components

The number and kind of connections depends on the kind of component you’re connecting.1 Follow the steps below to connect a CD-R, MD, DAT, tape recorder or other audio component.

Connecting other audio components Note

1Note that you must connect digital components to analog audio jacks if you want to record to/from digital components (like an MD) to/from analog components.

2If the connection was made using an optical or a coaxial cable, you’ll need to tell the receiver which digital input you connected the component to (see Choosing the input signal on page 36).
