Tips

•When using the S-video jacks instead of the video jacks, your monitor must also be connected via an S-video jack. S-video signals are on a separate bus from the video signals and will not be output through the video jacks.

•When the component is equipped with S-video jacks, you can connect the component to the S-video jacks on this receiver.

•(Models of area code U, CA only) This receiver can convert standard video signals to S-video signals for output from the MONITOR S-VIDEO OUT jacks.
