Note
• When connecting optical cables, be careful when inserting the plug not to damage the shutter protecting the optical socket.• When storing optical cable, coil loosely. The cable may be damaged if bent around sharp corners.• You can also use a standard RCA video cable for coaxial digital connections.

Video cables

Standard RCA video cables
These cables are the most common type of video connection and are used to connect to the composite video terminals. The yellow plugs distinguish them from cables for audio.
Component video cables
Use component video cables to get the best possible color reproduction of your video source. The color signal of the TV
is divided into the luminance (Y) signal and the color (P
B and
P
R) signals and then output. In this way, interference between the signals is avoided.

About the video converter

The video converter ensures that all video sources are output
from HDMI OUT terminal. The only exception is HDMI: since
this resolution cannot be downsampled, you must connect your monitor/TV to the receiver’s HDMI video outputs when connecting this video source.
Note
• If several video components are assigned to the same input function, the converter gives priority to HDMI, component, then composite (in that order).• If the video signal does not appear on your TV, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or display. Note that some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be converted. In this
case, try switching Video Converter OFF (see Video
Converter on page 40).• The signal input resolutions that can be converted from the component video input for the HDMI output are 480i/576i, 480p/576p, 720p and 1080i. 1080p signal cannot be converted.
