Using The Component Video Jacks; Connecting Other Audio Components - Pioneer VSX-520-S Operating 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 42 for
more on this.
• For the audio connection, refer to
Connecting your component with no HDMI

Note
1 Note that you must connect digital components to analog audio jacks if you want to record to/from digital components (like
an MD) to/from analog components.
2 If the connection was made using an optical or a coaxial cable, you'll need to tell the receiver which digital input you connected
the component to (see Choosing the input signal on page 38).

VIDEO OUT jacks.
