External 7.1-channel
output component
IMPORTANT:
This receiver is equipped with the following video jacks—composite
video, S-video and component video jacks. You can use any of the
three to connect a video component.
However, observe the following points when make connections:
•
Composite video signals and S-video signals can be converted
into each other, and can be also converted into component
signals.
So incoming signals of both types can be emitted through
all video output jacks. (If both signals are used, the unit
automatically gives priority to S-video signals.)
— Pictures may be distorted if the signals are converted. If this
happens, connect the playback source component and TV using
the cords of the same type.
•
When the recording components and this unit are connected
using the video cords or S-video cords,
playback components
and this unit need to be connected using the cords of the same
type.
•
Component signals cannot be converted.
So incoming signals of
this type can be emitted only through the component output jacks.
Notice:
Pictures through the video components only
connected to the component input jacks on the rear of this unit
cannot be viewed in Zone 2.

How to view the pictures through an external component
connected to the EXT 7.1CH IN (audio input) jacks
The EXT 7.1CH IN jacks do not have any corresponding video input
jack on the rear. You have to use one of the following methods to
view the pictures through the external component.
• Connect the video output jack on the external component directly
to the TV, and select the connected input on the TV.
• Connect the video output jack on the external component to any
one of unused video input jacks on the rear, then...
1. Select that video input as the video source.
2. Select “EXT 7.1CH” as the audio source.
(See “Selecting different sources for picture and sound” on page
24).
Note:
If the external component connected to the EXT 7.1CH IN jacks and this
receiver are not connected using video cords (composite, S-video, or
component), noise may happen to be generated when listening to this
external component.
In this case, connect the video output jacks on the external component
and unused video input jacks on this receiver.
Video camera
The VIDEO input terminals on the front panel are convenient when
connecting and disconnecting the component frequently.
• When you do not use the VIDEO input terminals, attach the front
terminal cover (supplied) to these jacks to protect them from dust.

Video component connections
Use cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, the red plug to the audio
right jack, and the yellow plug to the video jack.
• If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) and/or
component video (Y, P
B
, P
R
) jacks, connect them using an S-video
cable (not supplied) and/or component video cable (not supplied). By
using these jacks, you can get better picture quality—in the order:
Component video > S-video > Composite video.
