(opt 1-3) input jacks on the rear of the GTP-880, depend- ing on the type of connector used by the device. Later, you will configure the GTP-880 to use the specific input that you have chosen.

If your recording device also has a digital input jack, con- nect it to either the coaxial or optical output jack on the rear of the GTP-880, depending on the type of connector used by the device. The signal from the selected input source of the GTP-880 will be sent to the recorder.

Satellite Tuner or Television

Composite: Connect the composite video output from the satellite tuner or television to one of the video input jacks (video 1, 2 or 3) on the rear of the GTP-880 using an RCA-type video cable.

S-video:If there is an s-video output on the satellite tuner or television, connect it to one of the s-video inputs (video 1, 2 or 3) on the rear of the GTP-880 using an s-video cable. S-video delivers a better picture than composite connections and should be used whenever possible unless you can use component connections, which deliver better video than s-video.

Component: If the satellite tuner or television has com- ponent video outputs, connect them to one of the com- ponent video input jacks (DVD, video 1 or video 2) on the rear of the GTP-880 using an appropriate cable set.

Analog Audio: Connect the L and R channel outputs on the satellite tuner or television to the set of audio input jacks (video 1, 2 or 3) directly under the video jack used on the rear of the GTP-880.

Digital Audio: If your satellite tuner or television has a digi- tal output jack, connect it to one of the coaxial (coax 1-3) or optical (opt 1-3) input jacks on the rear of the GTP-880, depending on the type of connector used by the device. Later, you will configure the GTP-880 to use the specific input that you have chosen.

Video Display

A video display device such as a television monitor, fixed- pixel device (plasma or LCD) or video projector can be connected to the GTP-880 using the following methods.

Composite: Connect the composite video input from the display to the composite video main out jack on the rear of the GTP-880 using an RCA-type video cable.

S-video:If there is an s-video input on the display, con- nect it to the s-video main out jack on the rear of the GTP-880 using an s-video cable. S-video delivers a better picture than composite connections and should be used whenever possible unless you can use component connec- tions, which deliver better video than s-video.

Component: If the display has component video inputs, connect them to the monitor component output jacks on the rear of the GTP-880 using an appropriate cable set.

Note: Since the GTP-880 converts composite video to s-video and vice versa, you need only make one of those two types of connections between the GTP-880 and your video display. However, when component video connections are used it is still necessary to make either the composite or s- video connections so that you are able to view the on-screen menus and displays which do not appear on the monitor component output. The GTP-880 does not convert from either composite or s-video to component or vice versa.
