Video Source Connection Scenarios

1.Check the AC connections and the video source and monitor con- nections to the Home Theater Standard 7.1

2.Match the video format and signal. (For example, component to component and NTSC to NTSC.)

3.Switch the monitor from Progressive to Interlaced.

4.Make sure the selected device (device LED illuminated) has a fac- tory default signal that matches the connection from the Home Theater Standard 7.1 to the video monitor.

5.Press the enter key (84) on the remote control, to verify the video signal for a device and to view the current video configuration on the front panel display.

EXAMPLE 1: You want to use a component signal with a DVD device and you reside in North America.

Connect the DVD device to the Home Theater Standard 7.1 and con- nect the Home Theater Standard 7.1 to the NTSC Interlaced video monitor using component connections. Since Figure 4 shows that the factory default for the DVD is component, you do not need to change the signal in the configuration menu.

EXAMPLE 2: You want to use a component connection with a satellite source, and you reside in North America.

Connect the satellite device to the Home Theater Standard 7.1 and connect the Home Theater Standard 7.1 to the NTSC Interlaced video monitor using component connections. Since Figure 4 shows that the factory default for the satellite device is s-video, you need to change the s-video signal to component in the configuration menu.

The DVD device factory default signal is component. To change the satellite device signal to component, first activate the DVD device by pressing the DVD button (5) on the front panel or the DVD key (61) on the remote control. The DVD device LED illuminates. Access the configuration menu of the Home Theater Standard 7.1 via the remote control menu key (82) and navigate to the

menu screen. Select CONFIGURE VIDEO and go to the ASSIGN VIDEO INPUT

screen. Select the satellite device and change the satellite signal from s-video to component.
