• Y/S-Y/CPST (loop-through connectors)
• R–Y/S-C
• B–Y
The signals input to these connectors depend on the
selection made with the SD VIDEO button (see page 14)
in the video/audio input selection section. The selection is
indicated in the video area of the input signal display (see
page 16).
The analog video signals that can be input to these

connectors. When using the signal input to the left
connector as a composite video signal, for example, you
can bridge-connect the signal to other equipment via the
