Connections for a Standard-Definition TV and VCR
When using the 1540C with an SDTV, you must make one of the following connections to view content. Some
SDTVs may not have all of these connections. In addition, you can make connections to a VCR to archive
recordings to a VCR tape. Refer to your TV and VCR user guides and the cabling diagrams in this guide for
more information.
Note: The labeling on your 1540C, TV, and VCR may vary from the labels shown in the following table.
Required Connections to an SDTV (choose one)
The Cable Out connection provides both a
video and a stereo audio connection to an
SDTV. See page 10 for an example.
The Video Out connection provides video
to an SDTV. The left and right audio outputs
provide stereo sound. These connections
generally provide a higher-quality signal
than the standard Cable Out connection.
See page 10 for an example.
The S-Video out connection provides
optimal video to an SDTV. The left and
right audio outputs provide stereo sound.
Optional Connections
The Cable Out connection provides the
video and stereo audio connection to the
VCR. See page 11 for an example.
For VCRs that have Video and Left and
Right audio connectors, you can use
the Video Out and Audio connectors on
the 1540C. These connections generally
provide a higher-quality signal than the
standard Cable Out connection. See page
11 for an example.
