CONNECTIONS

Video connections

You can connect the unit’s video output to a video monitor, or the video input on an AV amplifier (which in turn is connected to a video monitor). Connecting to an AV amplifier enables you to control audio and video using the AV amplifier. You can set up the AV amplifier using this unit’s OSD (on-screen display).

This unit features several types of video output jacks. Determine the one compatible with the inputs on your video monitor. Use the appropriate cable to connect the unit to an AV amplifier, and the AV amplifier to the moni- tor.

1S VIDEO outputs (1, 2)

The S VIDEO jacks output discrete C and Y signals to reproduce higher-quality images than normal composite video. Connect one end of an S Video cable (not included) to either S VIDEO jack. Connect the other end to an S Video input on an AV amplifier or video monitor.

2VIDEO outputs (1, 2)

The VIDEO jacks output normal composite video sig- nals. Use the yellow plugs on an audio/video cable to connect either VIDEO jack to a video input on an AV amplifier or video monitor.

The same signal is output from VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2, enabling connection to two devices (e.g., a monitor and an AV amplifier) simultaneously.

Note

Do not connect this unit to a video monitor through a video cassette recorder. If you do so, the picture may not play back properly due to the copyright protection tech- nology incorporated in this unit.

These jacks output three discrete CCY signals (“com- ponent video”) to reproduce a higher-quality image than S Video.

(U.S.A. model only)

This unit features a DCDi circuit (with the latest contour correction technology) and progressive output, which produces very smooth and natural high-quality pictures even on a big screen. Use a component video cable (not included) to connect the COMPONENT output jacks to the component video input connectors on an AV amplifier or video monitor.

(U.K. and Europe models only)

If your monitor has only one jack for video input, you can use the SCART output jack on this unit to connect the unit directly to the monitor. This connection provides the best picture quality.
