■ About the video jacks
There are three types of video jacks. Video signals input through the VIDEO jacks are the conventional composit 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.

• 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 44 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.
■ Video monitor with a 21-pin connector
Make a connection as shown on page 15 with a commercially available SCART-plug connector cable.
■ VIDEO AUX jacks (on the front panel)
These jacks are used to connect any video input source
such as a game console to this unit.
