dVd player
The diagram shows how to make audio and video
connections from a typical DVD player.
The preferred video hook-up, in order of preference is:
<
use the HDMI connector (if HDMI output is
provided by the player), otherwise connect the three
Component or four RGB+Sync video connectors.
In each case, connect the video inputs labelled
DVD
on
the unit.
The preferred audio hook-up is using the coaxial digital
connector (usually marked
DigiTAl AuDio ouT
), in
addition to the coaxial analogue outputs for left and
right channels.
In each case, use the audio inputs labelled
DVD
on the
unit.
Satellite receiver
A satellite receiver is connected in the same way as
a DVD player, with the same order of preference
according to the outputs provided by the satellite
receiver.
In each case, use the inputs labelled
SAT
on the unit.
Note that digital audio input from a satellite receiver
sometimes requires a coaxial/TOSLINK (digital
connector) interconnect cable, as some satellite receivers
do not implement audio over HDMI properly or at all.
Cd player
Connect the digital audio output (if provided by the CD
player) to the digital
CD
input of the unit, using a high
quality coaxial interconnect cable.
Connect the right and left analogue audio outputs of the
CD player to the analogue
CD
inputs of the unit, using a
pair of high quality coaxial interconnect cables.
VCR, Camcorder, Games Console etc.
Connect other video equipment with S-Video
or Composite Video outputs to the S-Video or
CompositeVideo inputs
VCR
or
pVR.
S-Video provides
the best picture quality. Connect the right and left
analogue audio outputs of the device to the equivalent
analogue audio inputs.
