Although the “No OSD” jacks do not pass on-screen display information generated by the C 1,
they will pass status information coming from such source components as VCR and DVD play-
ers, because that information is part of the video signal fed to the C 1.

(Note: No on-screen display is sent to the component video outputs, because on-screen display
circuits reduce video bandwidth and detract from component video’s increased signal purity and
picture clarity. However, OSD is available for composite and S-Video because its effect on these
narrower-bandwidth signals isn’t as noticeable.)

The diagram shows cables to only three of the five component video jacks provided (the ones
marked “Pr,” “Y” and “Pb”), as most home-theater video devices use only those connections.
Professional video gear, computers and a few DVD players and other devices use VGA or RGB
connections that require five cables (for red, green, blue, and horizontal and vertical sync). For
the best possible picture quality, especially for HDTV, we recommend using cables with twist-
on BNC connectors; however, adapters are provided for the more commonly available RCA-plug
cables. (Note: The component video jacks on the C 1, and the plug adapters supplied, are not
color-coded; however, a key to the appropriate cable colors is printed below the bottom row of
component video jacks; from left to right, they are “Red,” “Green,” and “Blue”.)
