Video Connection Options

The DCT* offers five different video connection options. Component video, DVI, and IEEE 1394 allow you to view both HD and standard TV programming. Composite video and RF coaxial connections allow you to view only standard definition TV programming.

To determine whether your TV features component video, DVI,

IEEE 1394, S-Video, or composite video, check the manual supplied with your TV.

Use the guidelines below to determine the best video connection for your home entertainment system:

•Component video (Y Pb Pr) – HDTV and SDTV

The Y Pb Pr connectors on your DCT* provide HD component video.

•S-Video – SDTV

If component video connections are not available on your TV, use the S-Video connection.

•Video (also referred to as composite video) – SDTV

If S-Video is not available, use the composite video (VIDEO) connection.

•RF Input – SDTV

If your TV only has an RF input, you can connect to the DCT* using a RF Modulator, which can be purchased at most electronics stores.

•DVI or IEEE 1394 – HDTV and SDTV

DVI and IEEE 1394 offer higher quality HD video than component video.

If your TV has a DVI input, connect to the DVI-D connections on your DCT* instead of the IEEE 1394 connection.

The IEEE 1394 is a video and audio connection, so no audio connections are required if you are using the IEEE 1394 connection and you plan to use your TV’s speakers as the primary audio source.

HD video can only be viewed with DVI, IEEE 1394, or component video connections.
