you to connect different types of playback devices. For information on how to connect

an iPod or a USB storage device, see the following pages.

– Connecting an iPod (p.56)

– Connecting a USB storage device (p.60)

Connecting video devices (such as BD/DVD players)

Connect video devices such as BD/DVD players, set-top boxes (STBs) and game

consoles to the unit. Depending on the video/audio output jacks available on your video

device, choose one of the following connections. We recommend using an HDMI

connection if the video device has an HDMI output jack.

•

If the combination of video/audio input jacks available on the unit does not match your video device, change

its combination according to the output jacks of your device (p.27).

■

HDMI connection

Connect a video device to the unit with an HDMI cable.

If you select the input source by pressing HDMI 1–7, the video/audio played back on

the video device will be output from the unit.

•

To watch videos input to the HDMI 1–7 jacks, you need to connect your TV to the HDMI OUT jack of the

unit (p.21 to 24).

■

Component video connection

Connect a video device to the unit with a component video cable and an audio cable

(digital optical or digital coaxial). Choose a set of input jacks (on the unit) depending on

the audio output jacks available on your video device.

If you select the input source by pressing AV 1–2, the video/audio played back on the

video device will be output from the unit.

•

The component video signals (other than 480i/576i signals) input to AV 1–2 jacks of the unit can be output

from the MONITOR OUT (COMPONENT VIDEO) jacks only. To watch those videos, you need to connect

your TV to the MONITOR OUT (COMPONENT VIDEO) jacks of the unit (p.25).
