Important
• If you connect any source component to the receiver
using a component video input, you should have your TV
connected to this receiver's COMPONENT VIDEO

assigning an input).
If you didn't make component video connections according
to the defaults above, you must assign the numbered input to
the component you've connected (or else you may see the
video signal of a different component). For more on this, see
Using the component video jacks on page 20.
