Connecting your equipment
Using the component video jacks
Component video should deliver superior picture quality when compared to composite video.
A further advantage (if your source and TV are both compatible) is progressive-scan video,
which delivers a very stable, flicker-free picture. See the manuals that came with your TV and
source component to check whether they are compatible with progressive-scan video.
• For the audio connection, refer to Connecting your TV with no HDMI input on page 14.
Important
• If you connect any source component to the receiver using a component video input, you
must also have your TV connected to this receiver's COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT
jacks.
• If necessary, assign the component video inputs to the input source you've connected.
This only needs to be done if you didn't connect according to the following defaults:
COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1: DVD
-
COMPONENT VIDEO IN 2: DVR/BDR
-
See The Input Assign menu on Operating Instructions in CD-ROM for more on this.
