Are the headphones and speakers directly
connected to the unit? pYou cannot directly connect to the unit. Connect through the amplifier etc. 9
The television has both S-VIDEO IN
terminal and COMPONENT VIDEO IN
terminals. Which terminal should I connect
with? pWe recommend the COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminal. Component signal
outputs the color difference signals (P B /P R ) and luminance signal (Y)
separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.
If the television is compatible with progressive output, a high quality picture
can be output because this unit’s component video output terminal outputs
a progressive output signal.
