Note
•
When connecting optical cables, be careful when inserting
the plug not to damage the shutter protecting the optical
socket.
•
When storing optical cable, coil loosely. The cable may be
damaged if bent around sharp corners.

You can also use a standard RCA video cable for coaxial
digital connections.
Video cables
Standard RCA video cables
These cables are the most common type of video connection
and are used to connect to the composite video terminals. The
yellow plugs distinguish them from cables for audio.
Component video cables
Use component video cables to get the best possible color
reproduction of your video source. The color signal of the TV is
divided into the luminance (
Y
) signal and the color (
P
B
and
P
R
)
signals and then output. In this way, interference between the
signals is avoided.
About the video converter
The video converter ensures that all video sources are output
from the
HDMI OUT
terminal.
Note
•
If several video components are assigned to the same input
function, the converter gives priority to HDMI, component,
then composite (in that order).
•
If the video signal does not appear on your TV, try adjusting
the resolution settings on your component or display. Note
that some components (such as video game units) have
resolutions that may not be converted. In this case, try
switching Video Converter
OFF
(see
Video Converter
on
page 49
).
•
The signal input resolutions that can be converted from the
component video input for the HDMI output are 480i/576i,
480p/576p, 720p and 1080i. 1080p signal cannot be
converted.
