A/V receiver — Audio 

 

Standard-Definition TV (SDTV) 

 

Standard-Definition TV (SDTV) and VCR/DVD Recorder 

 

A/V receiver, Standard-Definition TV (SDTV), and VCR/DVD Recorder 

Before you move or change components on your entertainment system, review the 
following:  

 

For basic cable connections, use 75 ohm coaxial cables equipped with F type 
connectors.  

 

Disconnect power from your equipment before connecting or changing cable 
connections. 

For information on connecting to an HDTV, see 

Video Connection Options

Caution 

Do not place anything on top of your RNG set-top, especially other home 
entertainment components. Be sure to provide adequate ventilation to prevent 

overheating. 

Video Connection Options 

The RNG set-top offers several different video connection options. Component video, 

HDMI, and IEEE-1394 allow you to view both High-Definition and Standard-Definition TV 
programming. Composite video, S-Video, and RF coaxial connections allow you to view 

only Standard-Definition TV programming. HD programming will be down-converted to 
SD format for SD outputs. 
To determine whether your TV features component video, HDMI, IEEE-1394, S-Video, or 
composite video, check the manual supplied with your TV. 
Use the guidelines below to determine the best video connection for your home 

entertainment system. 

Note: Only (1) video connection to the TV is required. HD video can only be viewed with 

HDMI, IEEE-1394, or component video connections.
