Types of video jacks
RX-V530
There are three types of video jacks as follows:
1
VIDEO jack
Conventional composite video signal.
2
S VIDEO jack
RX-V530
Transmits color and luminance separately and achives
high-quality color reproduction.
3
COMPONENT VIDEO jacks
RX-V530
Transmit color difference (P
B
/C
B
, P
R
/C
R
) and
luminance separately and provide the best quality
picture.
• Each type of video jack works independently. Signals
input through the composite video, S-video and
component jacks are only output through the
corresponding composite video, S-video, and
component jacks.
• Use a commercially available cable specified for
connecting each type of jacks.
• The description of the component video jacks may
differ depending on the component (e.g. Y, C

/Y, B-Y, R-Y etc.). When using these jacks, refer
also to the operation instructions for the component
being connected.
■
Connecting a video monitor
Connect the video input jack on your video monitor to the
MONITOR OUT VIDEO jack.
Note
• If you connect this unit with a source component using S-video
(or Component video) jacks, you also need to connect your
video monitor using S-video (or Component video) jacks.
■
Connecting a DVD player
Connect the optical digital audio signal output jack on
your component to the DIGITAL INPUT jack and
connect the video signal output jack on the component to
the VIDEO jack on this unit.
y
RX-V530
• If your video component has an S-video output or component
video output, connect the S-video signal output jack on the
component to the S VIDEO jack or connect the component
video signal output jacks on the component to the
COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.
• The AUDIO jacks are available for a video component which
does not have optical digital output jack. However, multi-
channel reproduction cannot be obtained with audio signals
input from AUDIO jacks.
■
Connecting a digital TV/cable TV
Connect the video signal output jack on the component to
the VIDEO jack on this unit.
RX-V530
Connect the optical digital audio signal output
jack on your component to the DIGITAL INPUT jack on
this unit.
RX-V430
Connect the audio signal output jacks on your
video component to the AUDIO jacks on this unit.
y
RX-V530
• If your video component has an S-video output or component
video output, connect the S-video signal output jack on the
component to the S VIDEO jack or connect the component
video signal output jacks on the component to the
COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.
■
Connecting another video
component
Connect the audio signal output jacks on your video
component to the AUDIO jacks and connect the video
signal output jack on the component to the VIDEO jack
on this unit.
y
(U.S.A., Canada and Australia models)
• You can connect the supplied A/V cable to V-AUX jacks and
use female connectors to connect a portable device such as a
game console or camcorder.
■
Connecting a VCR or DVR (digital
video recorder)
Connect the audio signal input jacks on your video
component to the AUDIO OUT jacks and connect the
video signal input jack on the video component to the
VIDEO OUT jack on this unit for picture recording.
Connect the audio signal output jacks on your component
to the AUDIO IN jacks and connect the video signal
output jack on the component to the VIDEO IN jack on
this unit to play a source from your recording component.
y
RX-V530
• If your video component has an S-video input, connect the S-
video signal input jack on the component to the S VIDEO OUT
jack.
• If your video component has an S-video output, connect the S-
video signal output jack on the component to the S VIDEO IN jack.
Notes
• Once you have connected a recording component to this unit,
keep its power turned on while using this unit. If the power is
off, this unit may distort the sound from other components.
•
RX-V530
S-video and component video signals pass
independently through this unit’s video circuit. Make sure to
connect this unit to both a source component and a recording
component using the video jacks of the same system.
