Choosing audio and video cables
Most TVs and other audio/video devices have jacks for
Composite A/V
cables ( ).
Composite A/V cables have three ends, two (white and red) for stereo audio (left and
right), and one (yellow) for video. You can connect all three, or use just the red and white
ends for stereo audio, and connect a separate cable for video (see below).
The Digital Media Server’s back panel also has jacks for
S-Video
( ). S-Video provides a
higher quality video signal than composite. If you have equipment that supports this
connection, you can purchase an S-Video cable to use in place of the yellow video end of
the Composite A/V cable. (Use the red and white ends for stereo audio.)
The DMS also has
Component Video
( ) output jacks. Component Video provides
superior video quality by separating the video signal into three components, luminance
(Y) and two color difference signals (Pb, Pr). If your TV has Component Video inputs,
purchase a Component Video cable and use these jacks to connect your DMS to your TV.
The DMS sends digital audio through the
Optical Digital Audio
( ) jack. If you have an
A/V receiver that supports Dolby Digital audio, you can purchase an Optical Digital
Audio cable to connect to your DMS. Ordinarily, the DMS produces tones to indicate
when certain buttons on the remote are pressed. If you use the Optical Digital Audio jack,
you won’t hear these tones when watching programs with Dolby Digital audio.
The DMS also has a
Coaxial RF Out
( ) jack, however this jack is used only to pass a
cable or antenna signal through the DMS (see page 187 for details). You must connect
your DMS to your TV using one of the video output jacks described above to see TiVo
screens and watch DVDs. If your TV only has an RF In jack and no other A/V input jacks,
you will not be able to connect the DMS to your TV.
