When making cable connections

Be careful not to arrange cables in a manner that bends
the cables over the top or around this unit. If the cables
are laid on top of the unit, the magnetic field produced by
the transformers in this unit may cause a humming noise
to come from the speakers.

The RS-232C connector on the rear panel is for future
improvements.

About the video converter

The video converter allows you to connect various video
sources using composite, S-video or component video
connections and the signal will be output through all of
the MONITOR OUT jacks. The only exception is
component video input, which is only output from the
component video output. Therefore, if you want to
connect any source using component video, you must
also connect your TV using component video. If several
video components are connected to the same input
function, the converter gives priority to component, S-
video, then composite (in that order).
The following chart shows when the video signal will be
converted fro
m the vari
output to the MONITOR OUT jacks (top row):

• The mark above indicates that the component
video input must be assigned before it will be output
C
(see Assigning the component video inputs on
page 64 for more on this).
• When recording video sources however, you won't be
able to record sources connected to the component
video inputs. With composite and S-video sources,
they must be connected using the same type of video
cable as you used to connect the recorder to the
receiver.
• Also note that this feature is available with NTSC
signals only. For a PAL signal, make sure you've used
the same type of cable for your video component and
monitor connections.
