Connection of AM antennas
1. Push the
lever.
2. Insert the
conductor.
3. Return the
lever.
NOTES:
• Do not connect two FM antennas
simultaneously.
• Even if an external AM antenna is used, do
not disconnect the AM loop antenna.

Connecting a DVD player
Connecting a monitor TV
DVD IN jacks
• Connect the DVD player’s color difference (component) video output jacks
(COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT) to the COMPONENT VIDEO-1 IN jack using 75
Ω
/ohms coaxial video pin-plug cords.
• In the same way, another video source with component video outputs such as
a TV or DBS tuner, etc., can be connected to the VIDEO-2 color difference
(component) video jacks.
MONITOR OUT jack
• Connect the TV’s color difference (component)
video input jacks (COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT)
to the COMPONENT MONITOR OUT jack using
75
Ω
/ohms coaxial video pin-plug cords.
•
The color difference input jacks may be indicated differently on some
TVs, monitors or video components (“C
R
, C

and Y”, “R-Y, B-Y and Y”,
“Pr, Pb and Y”, etc.). For details, carefully read the operating instructions
included with the TV or other component.

• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.
• The signals input to the color difference (component) video jacks are not output to the VIDEO output jack
(yellow) or the S-Video output jack.
• Some video sources with component video outputs are labeled Y, C

terms all refer to component video color difference output.
• The function assigned to the component video input can be changed at the system setup. For details, see
“Setting the video setup” on page 14.
MONITOR OUT jacks
The AVR-3803 is equipped with a function for up-converting video signals.
Because of this, the AVR-3803’s MONITOR OUT jack can be connected to the monitor (TV) with a set of cables
offering a higher quality connection, regardless of how the player and the AVR-3803’s video input jacks are
connected.
Generally speaking, connections using the component video jacks offer the highest quality playback, followed
by connections using the S-Video jacks, then connections using the regular video jacks (yellow).
If the AVR-3803’s MONITOR OUT jack is not connected to the monitor (TV) using the component video jacks,
connect the player to the AVR-3803’s video input jacks using either the video jacks (yellow) or the S-Video
jacks. The video signals will not be output if the player and the AVR-3803 are only connected with the
component video jacks.
NOTE:
Down-converting from the component video signal to the S-Video and composite video signal is not possible, so
when not using the component video monitor output terminal connect the player using the S-Video or composite
video input terminal.
Cautions on the video conversion function:
When the component video terminals are used to connect the AVR-3803 with a TV (or monitor, projector, etc.)
and the video (yellow) or S video terminals are used to connect the AVR-3803 with a VTR, depending on the
combination of the TV and VTR the picture may flicker in the horizontal direction, be distorted, be out of sync or
not display at all when playing video tapes.
If this happens, connect a commercially available video stabilizer, etc., with a TBC (time base corrector) function
between the AVR-3803 and the VTR, or if your VTR has a TBC function, turn it on.
