75 O coaxial cable
• The signal from the antenna passes through this unit and along
the 75 n coaxial cable to the television even when this unit is
turned off. You don’t have to connect the antenna to the televi­
sion.
• The picture and sound signal from this unit does not go through
the 75 Q coaxial cable to the television. Make sure you connect
one of the following terminals on this unit to the television: the
AUDIO/VIDEO terminal, the S-VIDEO OUT terminal or the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal. If the television has none
of these terminals, consult your local dealer.
Conserving power
This unit consumes a small amount of power, even when it is
turned off (approx. 3 W). To save power when the unit is not to be
used for a long time, unplug it from the household AC outlet.
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal
These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive
output and provide a purer picture than the S VIDEO OUT ter­
minal.
Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference
signals (P
b /P h ) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to
achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.
• The description of the component video input terminals
depends on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/Po/P«, Y/B-Y/R-
Y, Y/C b /C h ). Connect to terminals of the same color.
