Connecting Video Components

■About the video jacks

There are three types of video jacks.

VIDEO jack

VIDEO	VIDEO jacks transmit composite signals.
VIDEO

S VIDEO jack

S VIDEO

S VIDEO jacks transmit S-video signals. S-video signals are separated into luminance (Y) and color (C) video signals to achieve high-quality color reproduction.

COMPONENT VIDEO jacks

COMPONENT VIDEO	COMPONENT VIDEO jacks transmit
PR/ CR PB/ CB Y	component signals.
	Component signals are separated into
	luminance (Y) and color difference (PB/
	CB, PR/CR) to provide the best quality in
	picture reproduction.

Refer to the owner’s manuals for your monitor and other components being connected to reproduce these signals correctly.

You can connect an S-video output and component video output of your video components to this unit. Connect an S-video output to the S VIDEO jack and component video output to the COMPONENT VIDEO jack on this unit.

y

•The COMPONENT VIDEO jacks on this unit are independent of the S VIDEO and VIDEO jacks.

•Connection depends on the availability of input jacks on your monitor. The signals input through the S VIDEO jacks can be converted to composite signals inside of this unit and output through the VIDEO jacks on this unit as well.

•(U.S.A., Canada and Australia models only)

The signals input through the VIDEO jack on this unit can be output through the S VIDEO jack by setting “V CONV.” in “13 DISPLAY SET” on the SET MENU to ON (see page 67).

•When signals input through both S VIDEO and VIDEO jacks, signals input through the S VIDEO jack has priority.

•You can designate the input for the COMPONENT VIDEO A and B jacks according to your component by using “7 I/O ASSIGNMENT” on the SET MENU (see pages 63 and 64 for details).

Note

•When you are using the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks, check the details in the owner’s manual that came with the component being connected.

■VIDEO AUX jacks (on the front panel)
