CONNECTION
When connecting video components such as DVD players, cable
boxes, satellite receivers and television/plasmas, you can use
different types of cables depending on how the video component is
equipped.
Video connections:
If the video component is equipped with S-VIDEO jacks, it is
recommended to connect to your unit or directly to the television
monitor using an S-VIDEO cable. S-VIDEO cables provide better
picture clarity and resolution. If the video component is not
equipped with an S-VIDEO jack, use a conventional RCA or RCA
composite cable to connect to your unit or connect it directly to the
television. The illustration here shows how to connect video
components to your unit.
Note:
When connecting more than one video component to your unit (i.e.
VCR and DVD player) it is easier to use either all S-VIDEO cables
or all RCA to RCA composite cables. This allows both video signals
(DVD and VCR) to be sent through your unit to the TV monitor
using just one video input on the TV (S-Video or RCA). Regardless
of the video component being played DVD or VCR, the picture will
always appear on the same video input of the monitor.
If you use both S-Video and RCA composite cables to connect
different video components to your unit, you must also use both
S-Video and RCA composite cables to connect the TV monitor to
your unit. For example, if you connect a DVD player to your unit
using S-Video cable and a VCR using an RCA to RCA composite
cable, you must also connect the TV to your unit using both types
of cables. This requires an S-Video cable from the S-Video monitor
out jack on your unit to an S-Video input on the TV (i.e. Video 1). In
addition, you must use an RCA composite cable from the
composite video monitor out jack on your unit to an RCA composite
video input on the TV but not the same input used for the S-Video
cable (i.e. Video 2). Using this type of dual cable video connection,
you will need to switch the TV video input source from TV to Video
1 to Video 2 depending on the video source being played-TV, DVD
or VCR.
