• The COMPONENT VIDEO jacks on this unit are independent
of the S VIDEO and VIDEO jacks.
• Connection depends on the availability of input jacks on your
monitor. The signals input through the S VIDEO jacks can be
converted to composite signals inside of this unit and output
through the VIDEO jacks on this unit as well.
• When signals input through both S VIDEO and VIDEO jacks,
signals input through the S VIDEO jack has priority.
• You can designate the input for the COMPONENT VIDEO A
and B jacks according to your component by using "7 I/O
ASSIGNMENT" on the SET MENU (see pages 61 and 62 for
details).
