Connecting Your Equipment
TV
Connect your TV to the jacks as shown below. Hook up the signal with either component video, S-video,
or composite video cords (the quality descends in this order) but remember, the video component you are
watching and your TV must be hooked up with same type of video cord or you won't be able to see the
picture.
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from
the AC outlet.

Multi Channel Input (External Decoder)
In some cases you may want to have your
source material (DVD, etc.) decoded externally. If you find you
need a multi channel external decoder hook one up as shown below, but for most people this component
is unnecessary (For more on this see p.52).
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from
the AC outlet.

memo
The jack and COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jack can be used to get a TV picture but it doesn't
show this receiver's on screen display (OSD).
If you use S video cords to hook up a component the OSDs from the receiver will only be able
to be seen on the S video out terminals.
