Connecting Your Equipment
Connecting your TV
Connect your TV to the jacks as shown below. Hook up with either component video, S video, or compos-
ite video cords (the quality descends in this order) but you must use the same type of video cords to
hook up your DVD player (and all other video components) as you use to hook up your TV. Com-
posite video cords, which look just like regular RCA audio cords (see p.20) but have only one cable and
connector, are the most common.
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from
the AC outlet.

Component Video Input Default Settings
If you use component video cords to hook up your video equipment it is easiest to do so following the
default settings, which are listed below. Remember you must use component video cords from your
video source (for example, a DVD player) to the receiver and from the receiver to your TV (or monitor). If
you don't follow the default settings below you must assign the inputs you used with the "Assigning the
Component Video Inputs" procedure. See page 89 to do this.
The default settings are:
COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1: DVD/LD
COMPONENT VIDEO IN 2: TV

MULTI CH INPUT
S video cables produce
clearer picture reproduction
by sending separate signals
for the luminance and the
color. These jacks are
labeled by the Japanese
designation "S2" on the
VSX-47TX but they are
simply S video jacks.
Composite video cords are the most common or standard video cord but also
the loest quality. The color on the connector is yellow to distinguish it from
regular RCA audio cords which have white and red connectors (see p.20). It is
important to use a true composite video cord and not an audio cord (though
they look exactly the same) because the impedance is different and this will
affect the picture quality.

The video signal is
divided into the
luminance (Y) signal and
the color (P
signals. In this way,
interference between
the signals is avoided.
