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.␣
