≥ This audio connection will enable you to play audio from your television through your home theater system. Refer to “Operating other equipment”
( ➜ page 33).
≥ You can also connect to the AUX terminals on the main unit. The TV AUDIO IN and AUX terminals are for external audio input.
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT ≥ Using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals
The COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals provides a purer picture than
the S-VIDEO OUT terminal. These terminals can be used for either
interlaced or progressive output. Connection using these terminals
outputs the color difference signals (P
B /P R ) and luminance signal (Y)
separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.
≥ The description of the component video input terminals depends on
the television or monitor (e.g. Y/P B /P R , Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/C B /C R ). Connect
to terminals of the same color.
≥ When making this connection, select “Video/YPbPr” or “S-Video/
YPbPr” from QUICK SETUP ( ➜ page 11). If “RGB/No Output” is
selected, the RGB signal is output from the SCART (AV) terminal, but
no signal is output from the component video output terminals.
S-VIDEO OUT
≥ Using the S-VIDEO OUT terminal
The S-VIDEO OUT terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the
VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance
(Y) signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)
SCART
≥ Using the SCART (AV) terminal
To improve picture quality, you can change the video signal output from
the SCART (AV) terminal from “Video” to either “S-Video” or “RGB” to
suit the type of television you are using. Select “S-Video/YPbPr” or
“RGB/No Output” from QUICK SETUP (
➜ page 11). Also, set “Video
Output” to “Off” ( ➜ page 26, “HDMI” tab).
This connection will also enable you to play audio from your television
through your home theater system. Refer to “Operating other
equipment” (
➜ page 33).
