Installation and Connections
6. If your DVD player and monitor both have
component video connections, connect the com-
ponent outputs of the DVD player to the DVD
Component Video Inputs ¶. Note that even
when component video connections are used
the audio connections must still be made to
either the analog DVD Audio Inputs j or any
of the Coaxial or Optical Digital Input jacks
°·.
7. If another component video device is avail-
able, connect it to the Video 2 Component
Video Input jacks §. The audio connections
for this device should be made to either the
Video 2 Input jacks g or any of the Coaxial
or Optical Digital Input jacks °·.
8. If the component video inputs are used, con-
nect the Component Video Output ∞ to the
component video inputs of your TV, projector or
display device.
16 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
Video Connection Notes:
• When the component video jacks are used, the
on-screen menus will not be visible. You must
switch to the standard composite or S-Video
input on your TV to view those menus.
• The AVR 7000's component video system is
designed for standard video rate video from
DVD players and similar devices. While it may
operate with high definition signals, the video
quality may be slightly less than with a direct
connection between the DVD and your TV.
• The AVR 7000 will accept either standard com-
posite, S-Video or Y/Pr/Pb component video
signals. However, it will not convert composite
or S signals to component video.
• Component or Composite video signals may
only be viewed in their native formats.
However, S-Video signals will be converted to
standard, composite video, and are viewable
through the Composite Video Monitor
Output e.
SCART A/V Connections
For the connections described above your video
device needs RCA (cinch) connectors or/and S-
Video connectors for all Audio and Video signals:
Any normal video device (Not SVHS or High 8)
for only playback needs 3 RCA jacks, VCRs for
record and playback even 6 RCA jacks. Any S-
Video device (SVHS, High 8) needs 2 RCA
(Audio) and 1 S-Video jack (Video), if it´s a play-
back unit, or 4 RCA (Audio In/Out) and 2 S-
Video (Video In/Out) jacks, if it´s a recording
VCR.
Many european video devices are equipped with
RCA (Cinch) or S-Video jacks only partially, not
for all audio and video in/outputs needed as
described above, but with a so called Scart or
Euro-AV connector (almost rectangular jack with
21 pins, see drawings on next page).
In that case the following Scart to Cinch
adapters or cables are needed:
• Units for playback, such as satellite receivers,
camcorders, DVD or LD players, need an
adapter from Scart to 3 RCA plugs, see fig. 1
(normal video devices) or from Scart to 2
RCA+1 S-Video plugs, see fig. 4 (S-Video
devices).
• HiFi VCRs need an adapter from Scart to 6
RCA plugs, see fig. 2 (normal video), or from
Scart to 4 Audio+2S-Video jacks, see fig. 5
(S-Video VCR). Read carefully the instruction
attached to the adapter to find which of the
six plugs is used for the record signal to the
VCR (connect with the AVR´s Out jacks) and
for the playback signal from the VCR (connect
with the AVR´s In jacks). Do not misconnect
Audio and Video signals. Don´t hesitate to con-
sult your dealer, if you are uncertain.
• If you use only normal video devices the TV
monitor needs an adapter from 3 RCA plugs to
Scart (fig. 3) only. If also S-Video devices are
used an adapter from 2 RCA+1S-Video plugs
to Scart is needed additionally (fig. 6), con-
nected to the SCART input on your TV that is
provided for S-Video.
Note that only the video plugs (the "yellow"
cinch plug in fig. 3 and the S-Video plug in
fig. 6) must be connected to the TV Monitor
Output e, and the volume on the TV must be
reduced to minimum.
