When connecting video components such as DVD
players, cable boxes, satellite receivers and television,
you can use different types of cables depending on how
the video component is equipped.
Video connections:
If the video component is equipped with S-VIDEO jacks,
it is recommended to connect to your Receiver or directly
to the television monitor using an S-VIDEO cable.
S-VIDEO cables provided better picture clarity and
resolution. If the video component is not equipped with
an S-VIDEO jack, use a conventional RCA or RCA
composite cable to connect to the your Receiver or
directly to the television.
The illustration here shows how to connect video
components to the your Receiver.
Note:
When connecting more than one video component to the
your Receiver (i.e. VCR and DVD player) it is easier to
use either all S-VIDEO cables or all RCA to RCA
composite cables. This allows both video signals (DVD
and VCR) to be sent through the your receiver to the TV
monitor using just one video input on the TV (S-Video or
RCA). Regardless of the video component being played
DVD or VCR, the picture will always appear on the same
video input of the monitor.
If you use both S-Video and RCA composite cables to
connect different video components to the your Receiver,
you must also use both S-Video and RCA composite
cables to connect the TV monitor to the your Receiver.
For example, if you connect a DVD player to the your
Receiver using S-Video cable and a VCR using an RCA
to RCA composite cable, you must also connect the TV to
the your Receiver using both types of cables. This
requires an S-Video cable from the S-Video monitor out
jack on the your Receiver to an S-Video input on the TV
(i.e. Video 1). In addition, you must use an RCA
composite cable from the composite video monitor out
jack on your Receiver to an RCA composite video input
on the TV but not the same input used for the S-Video
cable (i.e. Video 2). Using this type of dual cable video
connection, you will need to switch the TV video input
source from TV to Video 1 to Video 2 depending on the
video source being played-TV, DVD or VCR
