Composite Input TV Connection

Connect the COMPOSITE VIDEO output to the composite video input of your TV. Con- nect the ANALOG AUDIO outputs to the audio inputs of your TV. A cable for these connections is supplied.

If your TV has a single monaural audio input instead of a pair of stereo inputs, you need to use a “Y” cable adapter to connect the two output channels of the RDV-985 to the single input.

You can improve the sound quality of the system by connecting the audio outputs to a separate hi-fi audio system. (See the follow- ing section.)

If your TV has an S-video input, you should

connect it with the S-VIDEO output of RDV-985 using the supplied S-video cable in addition to the standard video cables. This will produce better picture quality.

Component Input TV Connection

If your TV has component video signal input jacks you will get better video performance by using the COMPONENT VIDEO out- put jacks of the RDV-985. The required cable is not provided. Be sure to connect the “Y” output to the “Y” input, “PB” output to the “PB” input, and the “PR” output to the “PR” input.

If your TV has an S-video input, you should

connect it with the S-VIDEO output of RDV-985 using the supplied S-video cable in addition to the standard video cables. This will produce better picture quality.

NOTE: If you do not connect the S-Video cable between the two components some functions of your TV may not work.

You can improve the sound quality of the system by connecting the audio outputs to a separate hi-fi audio system. (See the follow- ing section.)

NOTE: The component signal inputs on some TV’s have BNC type connectors. (BNC connectors are coaxial connectors that have keyed locking collars.) In such in- stances adapters or a special cable may be needed.Ê
