II. Component video connector
Between all the following connectors of the receiver, we recommend you to use the first one (HDMI) to get best picture quality.
You need to obtain a component video cable (RCA cable) to use the component video connector. Plug one ends of the cable into the Y (green), Pb (blue) and Pr (red) sockets on the digital receiver, and plug the other ends into the matching sockets on your television.
If your television does not have the matching connector, then use the next one in list, in the following order, for better picture quality: I HDMI connector (HDMI) II. Component connector (YCbCr) III Composite connector (VIDEO) You should configure audio and video settings after connecting up the receiver.
I. HDMI connector If you have a high definition television set, you should use a HDMI cable for best results. Plug one end of the cable into the HDMI socket on the digital receiver, and plug the other end into the matching socket on your television. In this case, you do not have to make audio connection because the HDMI connector can output stereo audio or Dolby digital audio.

Plug one end of the cable into the VIDEO (yellow) socket on the digital receiver, and plug the other end into the matching socket on your television.
