Tip
inputs 1 and 3 can be used as either component
video (YPB PR) inputs or composite video
(Y/Video) inputs.
INPUT 1 and 3 COMPONENT/COMPOSITE INPUTS Provides connection to an
(analog) video device with either composite or component otitputs stich as a VCR
or DVD jalayer.
• R Audio provides right audio connection and connector is usually red.
• L Audio provides left audio connection and connector is usually white,
• Y/Vid,eo Pp Pjj Unlike a single video input, compctnent (Y Pg Pj,,) video
maintains the video signal as three separate pans through these three jacks.
To ensure maximum picture tiuality, use three video cables or component
video cables for the Y Pg P^, connections. Accepts 480i, 480p, 720p, and fOSOi
signals, .if you’re connecting to a device with a Video jack instead, you can
still u.se the Y'Video jack.
Note: Also, reniemher to connect the left and right audio cables because the
Y, Ph, Pr cables carry only the picture signal, not the sou nd,
INPUT 3 COMPONENT/COMPOSITE INPUT Provides connection to an * •
additional optional video device, such as a DVD player or satellite receiver. The
jacks are the same as described above for INPUI' 1.
INPUT 2 and 4 COMPOSITE INPUTS Connect an N1VC (analog) device, I’hese
jacks are tised for most audio/video connections between devices. The audio/
video jac:ks are often color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and white
for left audio).
• R Audio provides right atidio connection and connector is tisiiaily red.
• L Audio provides left audio connection and connector is usually white.
• V (Video) prov ides composite video t:onnection and connector is u.sually
yellow.
• S-VIDEO Lets you c:onnect an S-Video cable for better picture quality to a
device with S-Video capability, sudi as a VCR or DVD player. The S-Video
jack provides better picture equality than the comjvosite video jacks becatise
tlie c:olor part of tlie signal i.s .separated from the black and white part of the
picture.
When using S-Video, make sure to connect the two audio caitles as well as
tlie S-Video connector.
INPUT 4 COMPOSITE INPUT Provides connetlion to an additional optional
video device, such as a DVD player or satellite receiver. The jacks are the same as
