Connecting Video Components

About the video jacks
There are three types of video jacks. Video signals input through the
VIDEO
jacks are the conventional composite video signals. Video
signals input through the
S VIDEO
jacks are separated into luminance (Y) and color (C) video signals. The S-video signals achieve high
quality color reproduction.
Video signals input through the

jacks are separated into luminance (

signals. The jacks are also separated into three for each signal. The labels of the component video jacks may be different depending on the
component (e.g. Y, C

If your video component has an S-video output or component video output, you can
connect it to this unit. Connect the S-video signal output jack on your video
component to the
S-VIDEO
jack or connect the component signal output jacks on
your video component to the
COMPONENT VIDEO
jacks.
Notes:
• Each type of video jack works independently. Signals input through the composite video,
S-video, and component jacks are output through the corresponding composite video, S-
video, and component jacks respectively.
• Use a commercially available S-video cable when connecting to the
S VIDEO
jacks, and
commercially available video cables when connecting to the
COMPONENT VIDEO
jacks.
• When you are using the
COMPONENT VIDEO
jacks, check the details in the owner’s
manual that came with the component being connected.
