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.
