Follow these instructions to connect a Component source to your V-40HD:

Connect video cameras or other devices capable of component output to the RGB/COMPONENT connectors at INPUT 1 through 4. When doing this, use a conversion cable for component to mini D-Sub 15-pin type.

To assign component input to channel 2, go to [A-BUS/PGM] and press [2], then press the [RGB/COMPONENT] button. When the V-40HD detects the component input, the [INPUT STATUS] indicator of the channel 2 lights up.
