03 Connecting up Using the component video jacks Component video should deliver superior picture quality when compared to composite video. A further advantage (if your source and TV are both compatible) is progressive-scan video, which delivers a very stable, flicker-free picture. See the manuals that came with your TV and source component to check whether they are compatible with progressive-scan video. Important • If you connect any source component to the receiver using a component video input, you must also have your TV connected to this receiver's COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT jacks. 1 Connect the component video outputs of your source to a set of component video inputs on this receiver. Use a three-way component video cable for the connection. 2 If necessary, assign the component video inputs to the input source you've connected.

Using the component video
jacks
Component video should deliver superior
picture quality when compared to composite
video. A further advantage (if your source and
TV are both compatible) is progressive-scan
video, which delivers a very stable, flicker-free
picture. See the manuals that came with your
TV and source component to check whether
they are compatible with progressive-scan
video.
Important

If you connect any source component to
the receiver using a component video
input, you must also have your TV
