Using the component video jacks
Component video should deliver superior picture quality
when compared to composite or S-video. A further
advantage (if your source and TV are both compatible) is
progressive-scan video, which delivers a very stable,
flicker-free picture. See the manuals that came with your
TV and source component to check whether they are
compatible with progressive-scan video. Note that it is
not possible to see overlay information when you have
connected using component video cables.
1 Connect the component video outputs of your
source to a set of component video inputs on this
amplifier.
There are three component video inputs; they are all
freely assignable so that they can be used in conjunction
with any of the audio/video input functions of the
amplifier.
Note that you’ll need to assign the component video
input (see
Assigning the component video inputs on
page 84), or else you may see the S-video or composite
video input instead.
• Use a three-way component video cable for the
connection.
2 Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT
jacks on this amplifier to the component video
inputs on your TV or monitor.
• Use a three-way component video cable.
About the video converter
The video converter allows you to connect various video
sources using composite, S-video or component video
connections and the signal will be output through all of
the
MONITOR VIDEO OUT jacks. The only exception is
component video input, which is only output from the
component video output. Therefore, if you want to
connect any source using component video, you must
also connect your TV using component video. If several
video components are connected to the same input
function, the converter gives priority to component, S-
video, then composite (in that order).
• You can’t see overlay information if you use different
cord types for the TV and the source component.
• NTSC sources are not converted except from S-video
to component video (not vice-versa).
