Connecting up 03 When making cable connections Be careful not to arrange cables in a manner that bends the cables over the top or around this unit. If the cables are laid on top of the unit, the magnetic field produced by the transformers in this unit may cause a humming noise to come from the speakers. About the video converter The video converter allows you to connect various video sources using composite, S-video or component video connections and the signal will be output through all of the MONITOR OUT jacks. The only exception is component video input, which is only output from the component video output. Therefore, if you want to connect any source using component video, you must also connect your TV using component video. If several video components are connected to the same input function, the converter gives priority to component, Svideo, then composite (in that order). The following chart shows when the video signal will be converted from the various video inputs (left column) for output to the MONITOR OUT jacks (top row): Video terminal MONITOR OUT VIDEO (Composite) S-VIDEO COMPONENT VIDEO VIDEO IN (Composite) S-VIDEO IN COMPONENT VIDEO IN • The mark above indicates that the component video input must be assigned before it will be output (see Assigning the component video inputs on page 63 for more on this). • When recording video sources however, you won't be able to record sources connected to the component video inputs. With composite and S-video sources, they must be connected using the same type of video cable as you used to connect the recorder to the receiver. • Also note that this feature is available with NTSC signals only. For a PAL signal, make sure you've used the same type of cable for your video component and monitor connections. Note • For optimal video performance, THX recommends setting the Video Processor mode OFF. 15 En
