Connecting to a Stereo VCR or DVD Recorder
(optional)
The diagram below shows how to connect a recording device to your set-top. Although it
is possible to watch TV using a connection through your VCR or DVD recorder to the TV, this
connection may not provide the best picture, and HDTV users are restricted to an SD format. In
addition, some content is copy protected and passing this content through the recording device
may result in a picture that cannot be viewed.
For these reasons, the connection shown is best used to provide only video and audio to your
recording device and not for normal TV viewing. The connection from the recording device to the
TV (only used for playback of recorded material) depends on the type of device being used, the
outputs that are supported, and the inputs that remain available for use on your TV.
Consult the owner's manuals provided with your TV and recording device for more details on
connection options.
Cables Used in this Confi guration
• 1 RCA-type Video Cable
• 1 Audio Left/Right Cable
WARNING:
Electric shock hazard! Unplug all electronic devices before connecting or
disconnecting any device cables to the set-top.
Connecting your TV directly to the Audio/Video output of your set-top will
assure a more vivid picture and enhance your viewing enjoyment.
