CONNECTIONS
8
You can connect the unit’s video output to a video monitor, or the video input on an AV amplifier (which in turn is con-
nected to a video monitor). Connecting to an AV amplifier enables you to control audio and video using the AV amplifier.
You can set up the AV amplifier using this unit’s OSD (on-screen display).
This unit features several types of video output jacks.
Determine the one compatible with the inputs on your
video monitor. Use the appropriate cable to connect the
unit to an AV amplifier, and the AV amplifier to the moni-
tor.
1
S VIDEO outputs (1, 2)
The S VIDEO jacks output discrete C and Y signals to
reproduce higher-quality images than normal compos-
ite video. Connect one end of an S Video cable (not
included) to either S VIDEO jack. Connect the other
end to an S Video input on an AV amplifier or video
monitor.
2
VIDEO outputs (1, 2)
The VIDEO jacks output normal composite video sig-
nals. Use the yellow plugs on an audio/video cable to
connect either VIDEO jack to a video input on an AV
amplifier or video monitor.
The same signal is output from VIDEO 1 and VIDEO
2, enabling connection to two devices (e.g., a monitor
and an AV amplifier) simultaneously.
3
COMPONENT outputs
(U.S.A. and Australian models only)
These jacks output three discrete CCY signals (“com-
ponent video”) to reproduce a higher-quality image
than S Video.
(U.S.A. model only)
This unit features a DCDi circuit (with the latest con-
tour correction technology) and progressive output,
which produces very smooth and natural high-quality
pictures even on a big screen. Use a component video
cable (not included) to connect the COMPONENT
output jacks to the component video input connectors
on an AV amplifier or video monitor.
4
AV connector
(U.K. and Europe models only)
If your monitor has only one jack for video input, you
can use the SCART output jack on this unit to connect
the unit directly to the monitor. This connection pro-
vides the best picture quality.
Note
• Do not connect this unit to a video monitor through a
video cassette recorder. If you do so, the picture may not
play back properly due to the copyright protection tech-
nology incorporated in this unit.
