Connecting Video Components - JVC RX-F31S Instructions Manual

Connecting video components

Do not connect the AC power plug to the wall outlet until all connections are completed.
This receiver is equipped with the following video terminals—
composite video, S-video, and component video terminals.
• If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) and/or
component video (Y, P , P ) jacks, connect them using an S-
B R
video cable (not supplied) or component video cable (not
supplied). By using these terminals, you can get a better picture
quality in the order:
Component > S-video > Composite
IMPORTANT:
Component video signals are transmitted only through component
video output jacks. Therefore, if a recording video component and
a playing video component are connected to the receiver through
the video terminals of different type, you cannot record the picture.
In addition, if the TV and a playing video component are
connected to the receiver through the video terminals of different
type, you cannot view the playback picture on the TV.
On the other hand, S-video signals and composite video signals
can be converted into each other and transmitted through the
corresponding output jack. For details about the settings of the
conversion, see page 25.
