7 To connect the video components for the source of VIDEO 1

• You can get better picture quality in the order — HDMI > Component video > S-video > Composite video.

• Unify the way of TV connection and that of video component’s (for example, connect a video component through S-VIDEO jack 

when TV is connected through S-VIDEO jack). Otherwise, the signal from the component is not sent to the TV.

• The audio signal through the HDMI VIDEO 1 IN terminal is not reproduced on this system. The signal is reproduced on the TV 

connected with HDMI MONITOR OUT terminal.

• Use an HDMI cable shorter than 5 m.
• When you are playing HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) content, the sound and picture may not be 

transmitted to the speakers and TV for a few seconds at the beginning due to the confirmation process.

• If the component video output jacks of your video components of the BNC type, use a plug adapter (not supplied) to convert the 

pin plugs to BNC plugs.

• When shipped from the factory, the source of “VIDEO 1” have been set for use with the AUDIO VIDEO 1 IN terminal for the 

audio connection. If you connect the components with digital optical audio cord, change the audio input (VIDEO 1) setting to 
“DIGITAL.” (See page 31.)

• Before connecting a digital optical cable, unplug the protective plug from DIGITAL IN VIDEO 1 terminal.
• If you connect a sound-enhancing device such as a graphic equalizer between the source components and this system, the sound 

output through this system may be distorted.
