Using The Component Video Jacks; Connecting Antennas - Pioneer VSX-421-K Guide Rapide

Connecting your equipment

Using the component video jacks

Component video should deliver superior picture quality
when compared to composite video. A further advantage (if
your source and TV are both compatible) is progressive-scan
video, which delivers a very stable, flicker-free picture. See
the manuals that came with your TV and source component
to check whether they are compatible with progressive-scan
video.
• For the audio connection, refer to Connecting your
component with no HDMI terminal on page 11.

Important
• If you connect any source component to the receiver
using a component video input, you must also have your
TV connected to this receiver's COMPONENT VIDEO
MONITOR OUT jacks.
• If necessary, assign the component video inputs to the
input source you've connected. This only needs to be
done if you didn't connect according to the following
defaults:
COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1: DVD
-
COMPONENT VIDEO IN 2: DVR/BDR
-
See The Input Assign menu on Operating Instructions in
CD-ROM for more on this.

Push open the tabs, then insert one wire fully into each
terminal, then release the tabs to secure the AM antenna
wires.

Fix the AM loop antenna to the attached stand.
To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the direction
indicated by the arrow (fig. a) then clip the loop onto the
stand (fig. b).

Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and in a direction
giving the best reception.

Connect the FM wire antenna into the FM antenna
socket.
For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a wall
or door frame. Don't drape loosely or leave coiled up.
