Using the component video jacks
Component video should deliver superior
picture quality when compared to composite
video. A further advantage (if your source and
TV are both compatible) is progressive-scan
video, which delivers a very stable, flicker-free
picture. See the manuals that came with your
TV and source component to check whether
they are compatible with progressive-scan
video.
Important
• If you connect any source component to
the receiver using a component video
input, you must also have your TV
connected to this receiver’s
COMPONENT
VIDEO MONITOR OUT
jacks.
1
Connect the component video outputs of
your source to a set of component video
inputs on this receiver.
Use a three-way component video cable for the
connection.
2

inputs to the input source you’ve connected.
This only needs to be done if you didn’t connect
