In this case, do not connect the TV's video output jack to the TV/SAT VIDEO IN jack on the receiver. If you are connecting a separate TV tuner (or satellite tuner), connect both the audio and video output jacks to the receiver as shown above. If you have a TV, satellite tuner, DVD player, or LD player with COMPONENT VIDEO (Y, B-Y, R-Y) output jacks and a monitor with COMPONENT VIDEO input jacks, use a video cord (not supplied) to connect to the receiver. When using the S-video jacks instead of the video jacks, your monitor must also be connected via an S-video jack. S-video signals are on a separate bus from the video signals and will not be output through the video jacks. Note On this receiver, the component video signals are not compatible with S-video signals or video signals. 9GB Digital component hookups Connect the digital output jacks of your DVD player and satellite tuner (etc.) to the receiver's digital input jacks to bring the multi channel surround sound of a movie theater into your home. To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, five speakers (two front speakers, two surround speakers, and a center speaker) and a sub woofer are required. For 6.1 channel surround sound, refer page 16. You can also connect an LD player with an RF OUT jack via an RF demodulator, like the Sony MODRF1 (not supplied). Note You cannot connect an LD player's DOLBY DIGITAL RF OUT jack directly to this unit's digital input jacks. You must first convert the RF signal to either an optical or coaxial digital signal.
