Basic Audio/Video Connections

This section provides a general connection method that is suitable for virtually any audio/video source component, including:

DVD players

Laser disc players

CableTV boxes

Satellite receivers

HDTV set-top boxes

VCRs (see notes below)

PVRs

Media PCs

iPod docking stations

Connecting Audio/Video Components

1Choose a Video input (1~4) for your component. A typical scenario might be:

Video 1 - DVD or Laser disc player.

Video 2 - Digital set-top box (CableTV, satel- lite receiver, or HDTV tuner).

Video 3 & 4 - Device with dual playback/re- cording capability (e.g., VCR, DVD Recorder, PVR, etc.).

2Connect video.

Using a composite video cable, connect the video output on your source component to the video input on the GTP-870HD.

For higher quality video, use an S-video cable to connect the S-video output on the source component to the S-video input on the GTP- 870HD.

3Connect audio.

Using RCA cables, connect the audio outputs on your source component to the audio in- puts on the GTP-870HD.

4Configure your input settings.
