) Video jacks
• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.
• The signals input to the color difference (component) video jacks are not output to the VIDEO output jack (yellow) or the S-Video output jack.
• Some video sources with component video outputs are labeled Y, CB, CR, or Y, Pb, Pr, or Y, R-Y, B-Y. These terms all refer to component video
color difference output.
• The function assigned to the component video input can be changed at the system setup. For details, see “Setting the video setup” on page
25.
DVD player
Connecting a DVD player
DVD IN jacks
• Connect the DVD player’s color difference (component) video output jacks
(COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT) to the COMPONENT VIDEO-1 IN jack using
75 Ω/ohms coaxial video pin-plug cords.
• In the same way, another video source with component video outputs such
as a TV/DBS tuner, etc., can be connected to the VIDEO-2 color difference
(component) video jacks.
Monitor TV
Connecting a monitor TV
MONITOR OUT jack
• Connect the TV’s color difference (component) video input jacks
(COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT) to the COMPONENT MONITOR OUT
jack using 75 Ω/ohms coaxial video pin-plug cords.
• The color difference input jacks may be indicated differently on
some TVs, monitors or video components (“CR, CB and Y”, “R-
Y, B-Y and Y”, “Pr, Pb and Y”, etc.). For details, carefully read the
operating instructions included with the TV or other component.
MONITOR OUT jacks
The AVR-3803/1083 is equipped with a function for up-converting video signals.
Because of this, the AVR-3803/1083’s MONITOR OUT jack can be connected to the monitor (TV) with a set of cables offering a higher quality
connection, regardless of how the player and the AVR-3803/1083’s video input jacks are connected.
Generally speaking, connections using the component video jacks offer the highest quality playback, followed by connections using the S-Video
jacks, then connections using the regular video jacks (yellow).
If the AVR-3803/1083’s MONITOR OUT jack is not connected to the monitor (TV) using the component video jacks, connect the player to the
AVR-3803/1083’s video input jacks using either the video jacks (yellow) or the S-Video jacks. The video signals will not be output if the player
and the AVR-3803/1083 are only connected with the component video jacks.
NOTE:
Down-converting from the component video signal to the S-Video and composite video signal is not possible, so when not using the component
video monitor output terminal connect the player using the S-Video or composite video input terminal.
Cautions on the video conversion function:
When the component video terminals are used to connect the AVR-3803/1083 with a TV (or monitor, projector, etc.) and the video (yellow) or S
video terminals are used to connect the AVR-3803/1083 with a VTR, depending on the combination of the TV and VTR the picture may flicker in
the horizontal direction, be distorted, be out of sync or not display at all when playing video tapes.
If this happens, connect a commercially available video stabilizer, etc., with a TBC (time base corrector) function between the AVR-3803/1083 and
the VTR, or if your VTR has a TBC function, turn it on.
