Input Connections
Using the appropriate cables, connect the following input terminals
from your cable or satellite set top box or VCR equipment to the
HDD-200. See page 11 for connection diagrams.
High Speed Data Input (1).
The HDD converts the HD data
on the High Speed Interface to HD video and audio. To connect the
High Speed Data, use the High-Speed Data cable (provided) to
connect your set top box to the HDD High Speed Data Input. Some
satellite receivers require an adapter (provided) between the High
Speed Data cable and the satellite receiver.
Standard Video Input (7, 8).
(S-Video and Composite Video)
The HDD converts standard NTSC video to an HD format so your
HDTV can display NTSC video. The standard video can be from
your set top box, VCR, or other video equipment. The HDD
accepts both NTSC composite and S-Video.
In the simplest configuration, connect the video from your set top
box directly to the HDD.
However, if you have a VCR connected to the output of your set
top box, then connect the output of your VCR to the HDD standard
video input.
If you have a more sophisticated entertainment system (that is, you
use an A/VR or other video switching equipment), take the video
that was previously connected to your NTSC television and
connect it to your HDD.
Analog Audio Input (5).
Along with the standard video source
(set top box, VCR, or A/VR) that you just connected, is a pair of
analog audio L/R outputs. Connect these analog L/R outputs to the
HDD analog audio input.
The HDD will automatically route the analog audio input to the
analog audio output when HD video is
not available. If HD is
available, the HDD will output the HD service analog audio.
Dolby Digital Audio Input (3).
Along with the standard video
source (set top box, VCR, or A/VR) that you just connected, may
be a Digital Audio (S/PDIF) output. If so, connect the digital audio
output to the HDD digital audio input.
The HDD will automatically route the digital audio input to the
digital audio output when HD video is
not available. If HD is
available, the HDD will output the HD service digital audio.
