11Connecting Video Components• To connect the video signal, connect using a 75 Ω/ohms video signal cable cord. Using an improper cable can result in a drop in picture quality.• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.• The AVC-A1XV is equipped with a function for up and down converting video signals. (See page 13)The signal connected to the video signal terminal is output to the S-Video and component video monitor out terminals.But the REC OUT terminals have no conversion function, so when recording connect the appropriate video terminals.R OUTVIDEOOUTLAUDIOR OUTVIDEOOUTLAUDIOR OUT INAUDIO VIDEOOUT INL R LR OUT INAUDIO VIDEOOUT INL R LR OUTVIDEOOUTLAUDIOINVIDEOR LR LRL RLR LR LR LRLR LR LR LR LR LR LBTVDVD player or video disc player (VDP), etc.Monitor TVConnecting a TV tunerTV• Connect the TV’s tuner’s video output jack (VIDEO OUTPUT) to the(yellow) TV IN jack using a 75 Ω/ohms video coaxial pin plugcord.• Connect the TV’s tuner’s audio output jacks (AUDIO OUTPUT) to theTV IN jacks using pin plug cords.AUDIOVIDEOConnecting a DVD player or a video disc player (VDP)DVD• Connect the video disc player’s video output jack (VIDEO OUTPUT) to the (yellow) DVD IN jack using a75 Ω/ohms video coaxial pin plug cord.• Connect the video disc player’s analog audio output jacks (ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT) to the DVD INjacks using pin plug cords.• VDP can be connected to the VDP jacks in the same way.AUDIOVIDEOMONITOR OUT• Connect the TV’s video inputjack (VIDEO INPUT) to theMONITOR OUT jackusing a 75 Ω/ohms videocoaxial pin plug cord.VIDEONote on connecting the digitalinput jacks• Only audio signals are input tothe digital input jacks. For details,see page 10.Video deck 2Video deck 1• There are four sets of video deck (VCR) jacks, so four video decks can be connected forsimultaneous recording or video copying.Video input/output connections:• Connect the video deck’s video output jack (VIDEO OUT) to the (yellow) VCR-1 IN jack,and the video deck’s video input jack (VIDEO IN) to the (yellow) VCR-1 OUT jack using75 Ω/ohms video coaxial pin plug cords.Connecting the audio output jacks• Connect the video deck’s audio output jacks (AUDIO OUT) to the VCR-1 IN jacks, and thevideo deck’s audio input jacks (AUDIO IN) to the VCR-1 OUT jacks using pin plug cords.Connect other video decks to the VCR-2, VCR-3 or VCR-4 jacks in the same way.AUDIOAUDIOVIDEOVIDEOConnecting the video recordersConnecting a monitor TVConnecting a DBS tunerDBS• Connect the DBS tuner’s video output jack (VIDEO OUTPUT) to the(yellow) DBS IN jack using a 75 Ω/ohms video coaxial pinplug cord.• Connect the DBS tuner’s audio output jacks (AUDIO OUTPUT) to theDBS IN jacks using pin plug cords.AUDIOVIDEONOTE:• Connecting a LD (laser disc) player with a DolbyDigital RF Output.The AVC-A1XV does not have a DD RF demodulatorfunction.
