Cable Wiring Diagram D
NOTE
This diagram shows a video path
from the set-top to a VCR to allow
recording by the VCR. It shows a
video path from the VCR to the TV
to allow playback of videos. Video
signals fed through a VCR may be
affected by copyright protection
systems, which can cause picture
distortion on the TV.
Do not, therefore, use a path
through a VCR to watch the set-top
programs. Use the HDMI path or
an alternate
direct
video path from
the set-top to the TV. Remember to
select the correct input on the TV.

About Setup D: Adding a home theater receiver to Setup C
All of the points mentioned in Setup C apply.
• To enhance the sound, connect a home theater receiver.
• There is a choice of two S/PDIF outputs: (i) electrical (labeled DIGITAL AUDIO OUT, which is shown connected by cable 8 in the diagram above)
and (ii) optical (labeled DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL)).
• When you add a home theater receiver, the set-top’s audio connection to the HDTV (via HDMI) is not needed, so you may wish to mute (turn off) the
audio on the HDTV.
• Instead of the VCR’s audio L and R outputs going to the HDTV, they connect via cables 7 to the home theater receiver.
