cables or optical cables should be used to 
connect digital components to this receiver.

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 video outputs 
connection
This receiver is not loaded with a video 
converter. When you use component video 
cables or HDMI cables for connecting to the 
input device, the same cables should be used 
for connecting to the TV.
The signals input from the analog (composite 
and component) video inputs of this unit will 
not be output from the 
HDMI OUT.
Note
1 • 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.
