CONNECTIONS

Video connections

You can connect the unit’s video output to a video monitor, or the video input on an AV ampliﬁer (which in turn is connected 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 monitor.

1 S VIDEO outputs (1, 2)

The S VIDEO jacks output discrete C and Y signals to reproduce higher-quality images than normal composite 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 signals. 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 (“component video”) to reproduce a higher-quality image than S Video.

(U.S.A. model only)

This unit features a DCDi circuit (with the latest contour 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.

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 technology incorporated in this unit.

2 MIXED 2CH jacks

Use the included audio/video pin cable to connect these jacks to analog stereo input jacks on the ampliﬁer. Connect the white plug to the L jack. Connect the red plug to the R jack. (The yellow plug is used for the video signal.)

3 6CH DISCRETE jacks

Playing SACD or DVD multi-channel audio:

Use an audio pin cable (not included) to connect these jacks to the corresponding channel inputs (such as MAIN L/R, CENTER) on the ampliﬁer (often labelled “6CH INPUT”).

Connect the SUBWOOFER jack to the subwoofer input on the ampliﬁer. This jack outputs a more natural, high-ﬁdelity low range relative to the SUB OUT/ BASS MGMT jack explained belo w. However, during playback of a two-channel (stereo) source, the subwoofer does not output any sound due to lack of LFE (low-frequency effects assigned to a subwoofer).

★ SUB OUT/BASS MGMT jack

SUB OUT/BASS MGMT aggregates and outputs the low ranges of all channels. An alternative to 6CH DISCRETE SUBWOOFER output, this jack outputs a powerful and supple sound even when the main speaker is small (with a woofer diameter of 16cm or less). Use an audio pin cable (not included) to connect the SUB OUT/BASS MGMT jack to the subwoofer input on the ampliﬁer.

Remote control in/out jack

These jacks are used in custom installations to transmit remote control signals via cable.

• Connect REMO TE CONTROL IN to an output on your remote control system.

• Connect REMOTE CONTROL OUT to a remote control input on another component to enable system control.
