Connecting Entertainment Devices
Cables Some of the cables shown in the diagrams may not be included with the
3250HD. If you need additional cables, you can purchase them from your
local electronics store.
The diagrams on the following pages show examples of common ways to
connect the 3250HD to your HDTV, VCR, DVD, D-VHS, and home theater
receiver.
However, these diagrams do not show every possible combination of
devices. Please consult the user’s guides that came with your other
electronic devices for further information.
Connection
Diagrams
Loop-through
Connectivity Additional HD video, SD video, and audio devices may be connected to the
inputs of the 3250HD models with loop-through connectivity. When the
3250HD is in the power off state (the green power indicator on the front
panel is off), the input connectors are directly connected to the output
connectors.
Example: When you want to view a DVD player connected to the input
connectors of the 3250HD, power off the 3250HD. The DVD player output
signals will now flow through the 3250HD outputs.
