HDMI

Composite Video Connections

1Using a video cable, connect the Monitor output on the GTP-870HD to the video input on your display device.

S-Video Connections

1For higher quality video, use an S-video cable to connect the Monitor output on the GTP-870HD to the S-video input on your display device.

Component Video Connections

1Using a Component video cable, connect the Y/ Pb/Pr outputs on the GTP-870HD to the corre- sponding Y/Pb/Pr inputs on your digital display device.

2Be sure to match the red, green, and blue con- nectors accordingly.

HDMI Connections

1Using an HDMI cable, connect the HDMI output on the GTP-870HD to the corresponding HDMI in-

put on your digital display device.

2The built-in HDMI switcher/scaler allows you to view both HDMI source components and upcon- verted legacy sources (composite, S-video, and Component video) on your digital display de- vice.

The OSD is always available on the Composite and S-video outputs.

The OSD is always available on the Component video out- puts, EXCEPT when the input signal is higher than standard (NTSC/PAL) resolution. If so, the GTP-870HD switches from standard to bypass mode and the OSD will not appear. How- ever, you can still access the Setup menus by pressing the Setup button (which causes the GTP-870HD to switch back to standard mode).
