To connect the video components for the source of VIDEO 1
• You can get better picture quality in the order — HDMI > Component video > S-video > Composite video.
NOTE
• Unify the way of TV connection and that of video component’s (for example, connect a video component through S-VIDEO jack
when TV is connected through S-VIDEO jack). Otherwise, the signal from the component is not sent to the TV.
• The audio signal through the HDMI VIDEO 1 IN terminal is not reproduced on this system. The signal is reproduced on the TV
connected with HDMI MONITOR OUT terminal.
• Use an HDMI cable shorter than 5 m (15 ft).
• When you are playing HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) content, the sound and picture may not be
transmitted to the speakers and TV for a few seconds at the beginning due to the confirmation process.
• If the component video output jacks of your video components of the BNC type, use a plug adapter (not supplied) to convert the
pin plugs to BNC plugs.
• When shipped from the factory, the source of “VIDEO 1” have been set for use with the AUDIO VIDEO 1 IN terminal for the
audio connection. If you connect the components with digital optical audio cord, change the audio input (VIDEO 1) setting to
“Digital.” (See page 31.)
• Before connecting a digital optical cable, unplug the protective plug from DIGITAL IN VIDEO 1 terminal.
• If you connect a sound-enhancing device such as a graphic equalizer between the source components and this system, the sound
output through this system may be distorted.
