Connections to TV – Video Connection
In the accessory box, you will find two sets of cables: One is the component video cable (with red, green and
blue connectors) and the other is the Audio/Video cable (with yellow, white and red connectors).
For better video quality, it is recommended that you use the HDMI cable, the Mini D-Sub 15-pin cable or the
RGBHV video cable (with 5 RCA connectors). These cables are not included in the HD-C26H package.
HD MODE Switch selection is essential for several outputs. Refer to the HD MODE Switch table on page 54 for
making the correct switch selection according to your output connection.
You have 6 choices for connecting the video output from the receiver to your TV. Use only one of the following
connections (with (a), (b) or (c) being the best choice):
(a) HDMI connection: If your TV has HDMI input, use a HDMI cable (not supplied) to connect the
receiver to your TV. HDMI supports video and multi-channel audio in a single cable; therefore
separate connection for audio is not necessary.

To TV HDMI input
Note: Because HDMI is an evolving technology, it is possible that some TVs may not operate properly
with the receiver.
(b) Mini D-Sub 15-pin connection: If your TV has a RGB Mini D-Sub 15-pin video input connector, use a
Mini D-Sub 15-pin cable (not supplied) to connect the receiver to your TV. Set the HD MODE Switch
(refer to page 54) to RGB, and then connect the RGB connector on the rear of the receiver to the
corresponding socket on the TV.
Do not connect any PC monitor to the receiver via Mini D-Sub 15-pin cable.
