Connecting your equipment
• 3D, Deep Color, x.v.Color signal transfer and Audio
Return Channel are only possible when connected to a
compatible component.
• HDMI format digital audio transmissions require a longer
time to be recognized. Due to this, interruption in the
audio may occur when switching between audio formats
or beginning playback.
• Turning on/off the device connected to this unit's HDMI
OUT terminal during playback, or disconnecting/
connecting the HDMI cable during playback, may cause
noise or interrupted audio.

Note
• When connecting optical cables, be careful when
inserting the plug not to damage the shutter protecting
the optical socket.
• When storing optical cable, coil loosely. The cable may be
damaged if bent around sharp corners.
• You can also use a standard RCA video cable for coaxial
digital connections.
Video cables
Standard RCA video cables
These cables are the most common type of video connection
and are used to connect to the composite video terminals.
The yellow plugs distinguish them from cables for audio.
Component video cables
Use component video cables to get the best possible color
reproduction of your video source. The color signal of the TV
is divided into the luminance (Y) signal and the color (P
P
) signals and then output. In this way, interference between
R
I O
the signals is avoided.
