QUICK SPTRAERPTAGRAUTIDIOEN PREPARATION Connecting Your Equipment Connecting your TV Connect your TV to the jacks as shown below. Hook up with either component video, S video, or composite video cords (the quality descends in this order). If you use component video cables to hook up your DVD player (or other components) then you must hook up your TV with component video cables as well. In general it is easiest to use one kind of video cord for all your video components (DVD player, TV, satellite TV receiver, etc.) but you can use different kinds of cables (see "Video Converter" below). Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

These jacks are labeled by the Japanese designation "S2" on the VSX-49TXi but they are simply S video jacks. Component video Green Blue Red The color signal of the TV is divided into the Y luminance (Y) signal and the color (PB and P B PR) signals and then output. In this way, P R interference between the signals is avoided. Composite Video Composite video cords are the most common or standard video cord but also the lowest quality. The color on the connector is yellow to distinguish it from regular RCA audio cords which have white and red connectors (see p.23). It is important to use a true composite video cord and not an audio cord (though they look exactly the same) because the impedance is different and this will affect the picture quality. Video Converter This unique feature of the VSX-49TXi allows you to hook up your VCR/DVD or any other video player, and/ or your TV tuner with one type of cord to the receiver while using a different type of cord to hook up the TV to the receiver. You can hook them up with either component video, S video, or composite video cords (the quality descends in this order). The only restriction here is that if you hook up your DVD player, or other video device, with component video cords (see above), then you must hook up your TV with component video cords as well. The flexibility afforded by the video converter should make connecting all of your equipment easier and perhaps, in some cases, give you higher picture quality. 19
