CONNECTIONS
y
• Each type of video jack works independently. Signals input
through the composite video, S-video and component jacks are
output through the corresponding composite video, S-video,
and component jacks, respectively.
• If you make S-video connections to this unit, it is not necessary
to make composite video connections. If both types of
connections are made, this unit gives priority to the S-video
signal.
• 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 41 for details).
Notes
• Use a commercially available S-video cable when connecting to the S VIDEO jack, and commercially available video cables when
connecting to the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.
• When you are using the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks, check the details in the owner’s manual that came with the component being
connected.

About the video jacks
There are three types of video jacks. Video signals input through the VIDEO jacks are the conventional composite video
signals. Video signals input through the S VIDEO jacks are separated into luminance (Y) and color (C) video signals.
The S-video signals achieve high-quality color reproduction. Video signals input through the COMPONENT VIDEO
jacks are separated into luminance (Y) and color difference (P

) video signals. The jacks are also separated
into three for each signal. The description of the component video jacks may be different depending on the component
(e.g. Y, C

If your video component has an S-video output or component video output, you can connect it to this unit. Connect the
S-video signal output jack on your video component to the S VIDEO jack or connect the component signal output jacks
on your video component to the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.

COAXIAL:
SELECT BY SETMENU
If your LD player has a Dolby Digital RF (AC-3) signal
output jack, connect it to the
q
RF (AC-3) input jack on
this unit. If the Dolby Digital RF (AC-3) and analog
signals are input at the same time, priority is given to the
RF signals. When you want to reproduce the Dolby
Digital RF (AC-3) signals, set the input mode to D.D. RF
by using INPUT MODE (see page 26).
Notes
• The Dolby Digital RF (AC-3) signals cannot be output by
using the REC OUT selector. When you record sound or
images from an LD player, be sure to connect the player to
either the DIGITAL OPTICAL or analog audio jacks.
• Even if you connect an LD player with the Dolby Digital RF
(AC-3) output jack to this unit, you cannot reproduce Dolby
Digital sound from all LD discs. You must playback an LD
encoded with Dolby Digital signals in order to take advantage
of the Dolby Digital sound.
