:: Basic Connections
This chapter describes how to connect ReplayTV to your TV and other devices, including your home network. You will find
detailed connection options not found on the Quick Setup Guide. If you have not already, take a look at the Quick Setup Guide
before reading this chapter.
Cable Overview
You may not need to use all the cables provided with ReplayTV. Your setup will depend on the components (Cable box, satellite
receiver, VCR, home network, etc.) you use. During setup, you may be called upon to identify one or more of the following cables:
Coaxial cable (included) delivers the signals broadcast by your cable TV company, or local stations. You can
also use this supplied cable to connect ReplayTV directly to your television.
S-Video cable (not included) delivers high quality video signals between ReplayTV and your television or
monitor. Older-model TVs may not support S-Video. Because S-Video cable only provides the video signal, it
must be used in combination with both of the audio plugs (red and white) on an A/V cable.
Component Video cables (not included) connect from the Progressive Out (Y, Pb, Pr) jacks on ReplayTV to
deliver high quality video signals to your television or monitor. Older-model TVs may not have a Progressive
input. Because component video cables only provide the video signal, they must be used in combination with
both of the audio plugs (red and white) on an A/V cable.
A/V cable (included) delivers audio and video signals between ReplayTV and your television or monitor. The
red and white plugs deliver stereo audio. The yellow plug delivers video.
