Connection to a television
This page explains how to connect the unit to a television and set it up so you hear the audio through the television’s speakers. Connections and
procedures that enable you to enjoy more powerful sounds are described beginning on page 23.
[Before\connection]
³ Disconnect the AC power supply cord.
³ Refer to the television’s operating instructions.

Back of the unit
[A] S VIDEO OUT terminal
The S-video terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO
OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance (Y)
signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)
[B] COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal
These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive out-
put and provide a purer picture than the S VIDEO OUT terminal.
Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals
(P
B
/P
R
) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high
fidelity in reproducing colors.
³ The description of the component video input terminals depends on
the television or monitor (e.g. Y/P
B
/P
R
, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/C
B
/C
R
). Con-
nect to terminals of the same color.
³ After making this connection, change the black level for a better pic-
ture (
á page 21, Video–Black Level Control).
Conserving power
This unit consumes a small amount of power, even when it is turned
off (approx. 2 W). To save power when the unit is not to be used for a
long time, unplug it from the household AC outlet.
Connect Your Unit Directly To Your
Television.
Do not connect the unit through your video cassette recorder
when setting up your home entertainment system, because
the picture may not be played correctly due to the copy guard.
