Using The Component Video Jacks - Pioneer Elite VSX-56TXi Operating Instructions Manual

03 Connecting your equipment

Using the component video jacks

Component video should deliver superior picture quality
when compared to composite or S-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.
Important
• If you connect any source component to the receiver
using a component video input, you should also have
your TV connected to this receiver's component video
MONITOR output.

1 Connect the component video outputs of your
source to a set of component video inputs on this

Use a three-way component video cable for the
connection.
2 Assign the component video inputs to the input
source you've connected.
This must be done so that they can be used in
conjunction with the audio/video input(s) to which you
have connected the component above (see Assigning the
component video inputs on page 78 for more on this).
