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). If you use component video cables to hook up your
DVD player (or other components) then you must hook up your TV with component video cables as well.
In general it is easiest to use one kind of video cord for all your video components (DVD player, TV,
satellite TV receiver, etc.) but you can use different kinds of cables (see "Video Converter" below). Howev-
er, if you use different cables your on-screen display will not display change of function information.
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from
the AC outlet.

S Video
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-49TXbut they are
simply S video jacks.
Composite Video

Video Converter

This unique feature of the VSX-49TX allows you to hook up your VCR/DVD or any other video player, and/
or your TV tuner with one type of cord to the receiver while using a different type of cord to hook up the
TV to the receiver. You can hook them up with either component video, S video, or composite video cords
(the quality descends in this order). The only restriction here is that if you hook up your DVD player, or
other video device, with component video cords (see above), then you must hook up your TV with
component video cords as well. The flexibility afforded by the video converter should make connecting all
of your equipment easier and perhaps, in some cases, give you higher picture quality.

Composite video cords are the most common or standard video cord but also
the lowest quality. The color on the connector is yellow to distinguish it from
regular RCA audio cords which have white and red connectors (see p.23). 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 color signal of the
TV is divided into the
luminance (Y) signal
and the color (P and

P ) signals and then
R
output. In this way,
interference between
the signals is avoided.
