DVD player

The diagram shows how to make audio and video connections from a typical DVD player.

The preferred video hook-up, in order of preference is:

<use the HDMI connector (if HDMI output is provided by the player), otherwise connect the three Component or four RGB+Sync video connectors.

In each case, connect the video inputs labelled DVD on the unit.

The preferred audio hook-up is using the coaxial digital connector (usually marked DigitAl audio out), in addition to the coaxial analogue outputs for left and right channels.

In each case, use the audio inputs labelled DVD on the unit.

Satellite receiver

A satellite receiver is connected in the same way as a DVD player, with the same order of preference according to the outputs provided by the satellite receiver.

In each case, use the inputs labelled SAT on the unit. Note that digital audio input from a satellite receiver sometimes requires a coaxial/TOSLINK (digital connector) interconnect cable, as some satellite receivers do not implement audio over HDMI properly or at all.

CD player

Connect the digital audio output (if provided by the CD player) to the digital CD input of the unit, using a high quality coaxial interconnect cable.

Connect the right and left analogue audio outputs of the CD player to the analogue CD inputs of the unit, using a pair of high quality coaxial interconnect cables.

VCR, Camcorder, Games Console etc.

Connect other video equipment with S-Video or Composite Video outputs to the S-Video or CompositeVideo inputs VCR or PVR. S-Video provides the best picture quality. Connect the right and left analogue audio outputs of the device to the equivalent analogue audio inputs.
