CONNECTING THE EQUIPMENT (cont.)
About Setup E: Using component video cables to connect a DVD player and an HDMI TV
In this setup, a DVD player is added to the basic setup. In this example, the set-top and HDTV are connected by an HDMI cable. The
component video option is shown in Setup H on page 31.
If the set-top is connected to the HDTV by an HDMI cable, you can connect video directly between the DVD player and HDTV.
There is no need to loop the video through the set-top.
This setup assumes that the DVD player has component video output jacks and you make the connection using three cables (9). If it
does not have component video outputs, then you can connect it to the HDTV using any spare baseband video or S-video input jacks
on the HDTV.
The audio connection from the DVD player can go directly to the HDTV, as shown by cables 10 on page 24 (provided that there are
enough audio input jacks on the HDTV).
If the HDTV’s audio inputs are limited, you can use the set-top’s baseband audio loopthrough feature to loop the audio through the
set-top. The set-top must be turned off for this audio loopthrough to occur.
