these TVs should generally be connected with analog Component Video cables to avoid an unnecessary digital-to-analog conver- sion in the TV.
Standard definition TV monitors should be connected with one of three types of video output connections – RCA composite video, S-Video, or Component Video. On standard televisions, the S-Video output provides bet- ter picture quality than the composite video output.
NOTE: In most systems, only one video con- nection should be made.
HDTV Connections
Connect the RDV-1092 to a high definition TV monitor with HDMI, DVI, or Component Video inputs. The video resolution can be set to match the native resolution of the TV monitor at 480p/576p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p.
NOTE: Most DVD discs feature Macrovision and/or HDCP copy protection which may not display properly at resolutions of 720p or higher. When using Component
Video connections, set the RDV-1092 output resolution to 480i/576i or 480p/576p. The HDMI connections are not affected by Macrovision copy protec- tion.
HDMI digital connection 
See Figure 3
Use this type of connection with an HDTV that displays digital signals directly, such as LCD, Plasma, and DLP monitors.
Connect one end of an HDMI cable to the VIDEO OUT HDMI connector on the back of the RDV-1092. Connect the other end of the cable to the HDMI input connector on the back of the HDTV or video processor. We recommend a maximum length of 5 meters for HDMI cables.
NOTE: The RDV-1092 video output settings should be configured to match the native resolution of the HDTV. See the Video Setup Menu topic in the Setup section.
DVI digital connection 
See Figure 4
Use this type of connection with an HDTV that displays digital signals directly, such as LCD, Plasma, and DLP monitors.
Connect one end of an HDMI to DVI cable to the VIDEO OUT HDMI connector on the back of the RDV-1092. Connect the other end of the cable to the DVI input connector on the back of the HDTV. We recommend a maximum length of 5 meters for DVI cables.
NOTE: The RDV-1092 video output settings should be configured to match the native resolution of the HDTV. See the Video Setup Menu topic in the Setup section.
Component Video connection
See Figure 5
Use this type of connection with an HDTV with cathode ray tube technology, such as direct view, rear projection, and front pro- jection monitors.
Three cables are required to make Compo- nent Video Connections:
1.Connect one cable from the COMPO- NENT VIDEO OUT connector labeled Y on the RDV-1092 to the Y input on the TV or surround processor.
2.Connect a second cable from the COM- PONENT VIDEO OUT connector labeled PB on the RDV-1092 to the PB input on the TV or surround processor.
3.Connect a third cable from the COMPO- NENT VIDEO OUT connector labeled PR on the RDV-1092 to the PR input on the TV or surround processor.
NOTE: The RDV-1092 video output settings should be configured to match the native reso- lution of the HDTV. To avoid Macrovision copy protection issues with most DVD discs, set the output to 480i/576i or 480p/576p when using Component Video connections. See the Video Setup Menu topic in the Setup section.
SDTV Connections
When connecting a standard definition TV, the best picture quality will be achieved using Component Video or S-Video cables. If the TV does not have either of these types of connec- tions, use a composite video connection.
Component Video connection
See Figure 5
Three cables are required to make Compo- nent Video Connections:
1.Connect one cable from the COMPO- NENT VIDEO OUT connector labeled Y on the RDV-1092 to the Y input on the TV or surround processor.
2.Connect a second cable from the COM- PONENT VIDEO OUT connector labeled PB on the RDV-1092 to the PB input on the TV or surround processor.
3.Connect a third cable from the COMPO- NENT VIDEO OUT connector labeled PR on the RDV-1092 to the PR input on the TV or surround processor.
NOTE: The RDV-1092 video output settings should be configured to the interlaced 480i/576i setting with a standard defini- tion TV. See the Video Setup Menu topic in the Setup section.
S-Video connection 
See Figure 6
Connect one end of an S-Video cable to the VIDEO OUT S-VIDEO output on the back of the RDV-1092. Connect the other end of the cable to the S-VIDEO input on the TV or sur- round processor.
NOTE: The RDV-1092 outputs all S-Video at 480i/576i.
Composite Video connection 
See Figure 6
Connect one end of an RCA video cable to the VIDEO OUT COMPOSITE output on the back of the RDV-1092. Connect the other end of the cable to the Composite Video input on the TV or surround processor.
NOTE: The RDV-1092 outputs all Composite Video at 480i/576i.
