VCR away from the tuner and radio.
• The output sound of the DVD/VCR has a wide dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the receiver’s volume to a moderate
listening level. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.
• Turn off the amplifier before you connect or disconnect the DVD/VCR’s power cord. If you leave the amplifier power on, the
speakers may be damaged.

Component video out jacks.
• When connecting to a TV using the S-video jack, make sure that the Progressive indicator “
” on the display
window is not lit. If it is lit, the S-video outputs do not feed the correct signals and you cannot see any picture. To
turn off the Progressive indicator, select Interlaced output

An S-Video connection is superior to Video (Yellow) output. Use this method for DVD playback when the connected television has S-
Video input, and does not have component video inputs.
Component video outputs
PROGRESSIVE outputs
Some TVs or monitors are equipped with component video inputs that are capable of reproducing a progressively scanned video
signal. Connecting to these inputs allows you to view the highest quality pictures with less flicker.
INTERLACED outputs
Some TVs or monitors are equipped with component video inputs. Connecting to these inputs allows you to enjoy the highest quality
DVD picture playback.
Notes:
• To switch the scan mode between the interlace and progressive modes,
see page

About HDMI
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video
and audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD players,
DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI was developed
to provide the technologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content
Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one
specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted
and received by DVI-compliant or HDMI-compliant displays.
HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-
definition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound
audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a
bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals),
one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and
communication between the AV source and AV devices such as
DTVs.
HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are
