No HDMI or DVI input on your TV?

If your TV does not have an HDMI input you will have to use one of the analog video connections. These connections are Component, S-Video and Composite. Choose the highest quality connection that your TV has.

Component Video Connections

If your TV doesn’t have an input for HDMI or DVI

This is a three-cable connection that must use cables that are made for video. The three Component Video jacks are identified with red, green, and blue colors. The component video cable’s plugs are usually color-coded to help you connect the same color jacks on the D 200 and your TV.

Connect either set of the Component Video Out jacks on your D 200 to the three corresponding Component Video Input jacks on your TV or your surround controller/receiver.

S-Video Connections

If your TV doesn’t have an input for HDMI, DVI or Component Video

Connect either the S-Video 1 or 2 Out jack on your D 200 to the S-VIDEO input jack of your surround controller/receiver or TV. The S-Video 1 and 2 Out jacks carry the same video signal, enabling connection of two TVs.

Note: Connect the S-Video jacks only if you do not use either the Component Video or Composite Video connections.

Composite Video Connections

If your TV doesn’t have an input for HDMI, DVI, Component Video or S-Video

Connect either the Composite Video 1 or 2 Out jack on your D 200 to the Composite VIDEO

(or sometimes called simply VIDEO) input jack of your surround sound controller/receiver or TV. The Composite Video 1 and 2 Out jacks carry the same video signal, enabling connection of two TVs.

Note: Connect the Composite Video jacks only if you do not use either the Component Video or S-Video connections. An exception is if you are using the remote, Zone B, feature on a Parasound C 1, C 2 or Model 7100 7.1 Channel Surround Controller.

Note: All of the analog video connections are active simultaneously.
