ENGLISH Connecting video components Connecting a video component equipped with S-Video jacks • To connect the video signal, connect using a 75 Ω/ohms video signal cable cord. Using an improper cable can result in a drop in video quality. • When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.
ENGLISH Connecting a Video Component Equipped with Color Difference (Component - Y, PR/CR, PB/CB) Video Jacks (DVD Player) Connecting the antenna terminals DIRECTION OF BROADCASTING STATION • When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components. • The signals input to the color difference (component) video jacks are not output from the VIDEO output jack (yellow) or the S-Video output jack.
ENGLISH Connecting the external input (EXT. IN) jacks Speaker system connections • These jacks are for inputting multi-channel audio signals from an outboard decoder, or a component with a different type of multi-channel decoder, such as a DVD Audio player, or a multi-channel SACD player, or other future multi-channel sound format decoder. • When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.
