2)Connect one set of Component Video Cables (one green Y connector, one red Pr connec- tor, and one blue Pb connector) to the back of the HD receiver using the connections marked Y, Pr, and Pb. Connect the other ends of this cable to the back of the HDTV monitor using the HDTV input connections marked Y, Pr , and Pb.

Note: Connect the Y, Pr , and Pb connectors of the HD receiver only to the Y, Pr , and Pb connectors on your TV that are compatible with HD signals in the 1080i scanning rate and that comply with the EIA 770.3 signal standards. Refer to your television owner’s guide for verification.
