The Component Video cable (, supplied) provides excellent video quality by separating

the video signal into three components, luminance (Y) and two color difference signals1 (Pb, Pr). You will need to connect a separate cable for audio. (See Option B on page 16.)

The HD DVR also has a Digital Audio Out jack to connect an Optical Digital Audio cable (, not supplied). If you want Dolby Digital audio, purchase an Optical Digital Audio cable and use this connection. Ordinarily, your HD DVR produces tones to indicate when certain buttons on the remote are pressed. If you use Digital Audio Out or HDMI for audio, you will not hear these tones when watching programs with Dolby Digital audio.

Standard Audio and Video

To take full advantage of the HD DVR’s high-definition audio and video capabilities, you should connect it to your system using high-definition video and digital audio cables. However, the HD DVR also has standard audio and video connections that are useful depending on the equipment you have.

An S-Videocable (, supplied) provides excellent video quality. You can use this cable to connect your HD DVR to standard video devices, such as a VCR, or a standard definition TV. If you use this cable for video, connect a separate cable for audio.

The HD DVR also comes with a Composite A/V cable (, supplied). Composite A/V cables have three ends, two (white and red) for stereo audio, and one (yellow) for video. These three ends can be used together or separately. For example, you can use only the red and white ends for analog stereo audio, along with an S-Video cable instead of the yellow end for video. You can use this cable to connect your HD DVR to devices such as a DVD recorder, a standard definition TV, or an A/V receiver.

A Coaxial RF cable (, not supplied) carries both audio and video signals (analog or digital) TD 0.0c 0 Tw .
