The VCR and TV receive their A/V signals from the currently selected input device on the
audio receiver. This is important when the subscriber has another A/V device such as a
DVD player, a secondary VCR, a CD player, or other electronic component. We
recommend connecting the TV to the monitor output so on-screen menus for the
receiver can be displayed. (In many cases, the receivers themselves have interactive
on-screen menus.)
Installation Overview
1. Determine if you are connecting to a:
High-Definition
TV or monitor Use the component video (YPbPr), HDMI, or IEEE-1394 outputs. No other video
connection supports HDTV.
If your TV has a DVI input, connect a DVI-to-HDMI adapter or cable to the HDMI out
connector on the DCH receiver instead of the IEEE-1394 connection and the DVI-
HDTV connector on your TV.
Standard-
Definition TV Connect the S-Video connector using an S-video cable or connect the composite
video connector using a composite (RCA phono) cable. If the TV only has a coaxial
RF input, connect it to the DCH3416 RF OUT connector.
2. Determine if you are connecting the audio to a home theater receiver or directly to
the TV:
•
For an HDMI or IEEE-1394 video connection, no additional audio connections to
the TV are required.
•
If the receiver or TV has a digital audio (S/PDIF) input, use the digital audio
OPTICAL (S/PDIF)
or
COAXIAL (S/PDIF)
outputs.
•
Otherwise, use the baseband left and right audio out outputs.
3. Locate the cabling diagram(s) that best match the subscriber’s configuration.
4. Connect the audio and video cables in a manner matching that diagram.
5. Determine if you are connecting to a data device (see Data Device Connections in
this section). For installation details, refer to the instructions included with the data
device.
6. Connect the cable terminal to the coaxial cable wall outlet.
7. Perform the operational check for the remote control.
8. Optimize the High-Definition settings. See Optimizing the High-Definition Settings in
this section.
