Yamaha RX-V1200 User Manual

Never connect this unit and other components to mains power until all connections between components have been
completed.

• Be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Some

components require different connection methods and have different jack names. Refer to the operation instructions
for each component to be connected to this unit.

• When you connect other YAMAHA audio components (such as a tape deck, MD recorder and CD player or

changer), connect them to the jack with the same number labels as !, #, $ etc. YAMAHA applies this labeling
system to all its products.

• After you have completed all connections, check them again to make sure they are correct.

■ About the video jacks

There are three types of video jacks. Video signals input through the VIDEO jacks are the conventional composite video
signals. Video signals input through the S VIDEO jacks are separated into luminance (Y) and color (C) video signals.
The S-video signals achieve high-quality color reproduction. Video signals input through the COMPONENT VIDEO
jacks are separated into luminance (Y) and color difference (P

into three for each signal. The description of the component video jacks may be different depending on the component
(e.g. Y, C

If your video component has an S-video output or component video output, you can connect it to this unit. Connect the
S-video signal output jack on your video component to the S VIDEO jack or connect the component signal output jacks
on your video component to the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.

• Each type of video jack works independently. Signals input through the composite

video, S-video and component jacks are output through the corresponding composite
video, S-video, and component jacks, respectively.

• You can designate the input for the COMPONENT VIDEO A and B jacks according

to your component by using “7 I/O ASSIGNMENT” on the SET MENU (see pages
58 and 59 for details).

• Use a commercially available S-video cable when connecting to the S VIDEO jack, and commercially available video cables when

connecting to the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.

• When you are using the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks, check the details in the owner’s manual that came with the component being

connected.

■ VIDEO AUX jacks (on the front panel)

These jacks are used to connect any video input source
such as a game console and a camcorder to this unit.
