Step 1: Video Connection (DVD Player to AV Receiver to TV)

If your TV has component video input jacks, connect your DVD player to the AV receiver’s COMPONENT 
VIDEO DVD IN jacks. And connect the AV receiver’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to your TV. This will 
provide better picture quality than connection 

.

If your TV doesn’t have component video input jacks, connect your DVD player to the AV receiver’s DVD IN 
VIDEO jack. And connect the AV receiver’s MONITOR OUT VIDEO jack to your TV.
