Safety
1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of the type
described in these instructions or as marked on the unit.

where one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature en-
sures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one
way. If the plug doesn’t fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still
doesn’t fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do
not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug.
3. Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply cord so
that it will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or
against it. Never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands.
Always grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and discon-
necting it.
4. Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply cord, be
careful not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord,
or outlet from any other device as this can result in fire or electric
shock.

Connection to a television
This page explains how to connect the unit to a television and set it up so you hear the audio through the television’s speakers. Connections and
procedures that enable you to enjoy more powerful sounds are described beginning on page 23.
[Before\connection]
³Disconnect the AC power supply cord.
³Refer to the television’s operating instructions.
To household
AC outlet
(AC 120V, 60 Hz)
Audio/video cable (included)
Television
AC power supply cord
(included)
Back of the unit
[A] S VIDEO OUT terminal
The S-video terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO
OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance (Y)
signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)
[B] COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal
These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive out-
put and provide a purer picture than the S VIDEO OUT terminal.
Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals
(P
B/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high
fidelity in reproducing colors.
³The description of the component video input terminals depends on
the television or monitor (e.g. Y/P
B/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR). Con-
nect to terminals of the same color.
³After making this connection, change the black level for a better pic-
ture (á page 21, Video–Black Level Control).
Conserving power
This unit consumes a small amount of power, even when it is turned
off (approx. 2 W). To save power when the unit is not to be used for a
long time, unplug it from the household AC outlet.
Connect Your Unit Directly To Your
Television.
Do not connect the unit through your video cassette recorder
when setting up your home entertainment system, because
the picture may not be played correctly due to the copy guard.
