Connections for a Standard-Defi nition TV and VCR
When using the set-top with an SDTV, you must make one of the following connections to view
content. Some SDTVs may not have all these connections. In addition, you can make connections
to a VCR to record to a VCR tape. Refer to your TV and VCR user guides and the cabling diagrams
in this guide for more detailed information.
Note: The labeling on your set-top may vary slightly.
Required Connections to an SDTV (use one)
The PrPbY connectors can provide standard-defi nition
component video signals to an SDTV.
Note: To connect PrPbY to an SDTV, you must set
the HD Setup Wizard on the set-top to HD Mode, and
select the output video format (typically 480i) that will
match the capabilities of your SDTV.
The S-Video Out connection provides an optimal video
connection to SDTVs.
The Cable Out connector provides a video and audio
connection to an SDTV.
Optional Connection to a VCR
For VCRs with Video and Left and Right Audio
connectors, you can use the Out 2 connectors (Video,
Left, and Right) on the set-top.
