Connecting other components

Make sure that this unit and other components are unplugged from the AC wall outlets.

Notes

When “Conversion” is set to “Off” (see page 89), be sure to make the same type of video connections as those made for your TV (see page 23). For example, if you connected your TV to the VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack of this unit, connect your other components to the VIDEO jacks.

When “Conversion” is set to “On” (see page 89), the converted video signals are output only at the MONITOR OUT jacks. When recording a source, you must make the same type of video connections between each component.

To make a digital connection to a component other than the default component assigned to each DIGITAL INPUT or DIGITAL OUTPUT jack, select the corresponding setting for “Option”, “Optical Output”, or “Coaxial Input” in “I/O Assignment” (see page 82).

If you connect your DVD player to both the DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) and the DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) jacks, priority is given to the signals input at the DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) jack.
