03Connecting your equipment

Using the component video jacks

Component video should deliver superior picture quality when compared to composite or S-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.

Important

•If you connect any source component to the receiver using a component video input, you should also have your TV connected to this receiver's component video MONITOR output.

1Connect the component video outputs of your source to a set of component video inputs on this receiver.

Use a three-way component video cable for the connection.

2Assign the component video inputs to the input source you’ve connected.

This must be done so that they can be used in conjunction with the audio/video input(s) to which you have connected the component above (see Assigning the component video inputs on page 78 for more on this).

3Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT jacks on this receiver to the component video inputs on your TV or monitor.

•Use a three-way component video cable.
