2.1 VIDEO CONNECTIONS
The best choice for video connection depends on your monitor(s) and source components. Any video input
can be assigned to any number of Sources. To configure inputs, see section 3.5.
Composite Video:
This traditional format combines the black/white and color information for transmission on a single coaxial
cable. To be displayed, it has to be comb-filtered apart, a process that degrades video quality substantially.
Maximum resolution is 480i. If you use a VCR, one with S-Video output is recommended since comb filtering
does not apply.
S-Video:
With S-Video, maximum resolution is also 480i, though better video quality results from its multi-conductor
connection that keeps color and brightness signals separate.
Component Video:
Component video uses three coaxial cables, one for brightness and two for color-difference, and has a
maximum resolution of 1080p. Two component video outputs are provided for MAIN in case you use a front
projector for movies and a flat panel for the news in the same room.
On-Screen Display is shown through MAIN and ZONE2 S-Video outputs only.
