TV Source Connectors Overview
Your standard television set-top box has one or more of
the following video output connectors and cables:
■
Coaxial (RF)
■
Video (composite)
■
S-video
Do not switch video types such as connecting S-video In
to TV Source 1 and Composite Video In to TV Source 2 or
a Coaxial In and a Composite Out. Not all set-top boxes
and AV receivers support signal conversion.
The type of video cable you need depends on your
set-top box:
■
If your set-top box has an S-video jack, you need an
S-video cable to connect the HP Digital Entertainment
Center to your set-top box. An S-video cable
provides separate color and black-and-white image
signals, and delivers a sharper image than a
composite video cable.
■
If your set-top box has a composite video jack, you
need a composite video cable.
■
If you are connecting dual set-top box sources to the
HP Digital Entertainment Center dual tuner with a
composite video connection, use a composite to
S-video adapter (sold separately) on TV Source 2 in.
You may need other or additional cables, depending on
your TV signal source.
