Connecting the video components
• 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.
• The AVR-3803 is equipped with a function for up-converting video signals.
• The signal connected to the video signal terminal is output to the S-Video and component video monitor out
terminals.
• The REC OUT terminals have no conversion function, so when recording only connect the video terminals.
