XV-DV88.book 14 ページ２００６年１１月９日 02 木曜日午後２時２８分 Connecting up Connecting using the component video output • Placing the system unit too close to your TV may cause interference, especially if you’re using an indoor antenna. If you notice interference, move the system unit away from the TV. Connecting using the S-video output If your TV has an S-video input, you can use this instead of the standard video output for a better quality picture.
