14CONNECTIONSBefore Connecting ComponentsCAUTIONNever connect this unit and other components to mains power until all connections between components have beencompleted.• Be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Somecomponents require different connection methods and have different jack names. Refer to the operation instructionsfor 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 orchanger), connect them to the jack with the same number labels as !, #, $ etc. YAMAHA applies this labelingsystem to all its products.• After you have completed all connections, check them again to make sure they are correct.Connecting Video Components About the video jacksThere are three types of video jacks. Video signals input through the VIDEO jacks are the conventional composite videosignals. 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 VIDEOjacks are separated into luminance (Y) and color difference (P B /CB , P R/C R ) video signals. The jacks are also separatedinto three for each signal. The description of the component video jacks may be different depending on the component(e.g. Y, C B , CR /Y, P B, P R/Y, B-Y, R-Y etc.). Component video signals provide the best quality in picture reproduction.If your video component has an S-video output or component video output, you can connect it to this unit. Connect theS-video signal output jack on your video component to the S VIDEO jack or connect the component signal output jackson your video component to the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.y• Each type of video jack works independently. Signals input through the compositevideo, S-video and component jacks are output through the corresponding compositevideo, S-video, and component jacks, respectively.• You can designate the input for the COMPONENT VIDEO A and B jacks accordingto your component by using “7 I/O ASSIGNMENT” on the SET MENU (see pages56 and 57 for details).Notes• Use a commercially available S-video cable when connecting to the S VIDEO jack, and commercially available video cables whenconnecting 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 beingconnected.
