CONNECTIONS

Before Connecting Components

CAUTION

Never connect this unit and other components to mains power until all connections between components have been completed.

•Be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Some components require different connection methods and have different jack names. Refer to the operation instructions for each component to be connected to this unit.

•Use commercially available video pin cables when connecting to the S VIDEO and COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.

■About the video jacks

There are three types of video jacks.

y

•The signals input through the S VIDEO jacks can be converted to composite signals inside of this unit and output through the VIDEO MONITOR OUT jacks on this unit as well.

•The signals input through the VIDEO jack on this unit can be output through the S VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack by setting “V CONV.” in “13 DISPLAY SET” on the SET MENU to ON (see page 70).

•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 page 67 for details).

■VIDEO AUX jacks (on the front panel)
