Using The Component Video Jacks; Connecting Other Audio Components - Pioneer VSX-820-K Operation Instructions Manual

03 Connecting your equipment

Using the component video jacks

Component video should deliver superior
picture quality when compared to composite
video. A further advantage (if your source and TV
are both compatible) is progressive-scan video,
which delivers a very stable, flicker-free picture.
See the manuals that came with your TV and
source component to check whether they are
compatible with progressive-scan video.
• If necessary, assign the component video
inputs to the input source you've connected.
This only needs to be done if you didn't connect
according to the following defaults:
• COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1 – BD
• COMPONENT VIDEO IN 2 – DVD
See The Input Assign menu on page 46 for
more on this.
• For the audio connection, refer to
Connecting your component with no HDMI
on page 24
