Note

SeeReadThis First, on page5, for information on makingthe on-screendisplay visible on your video monitor.

1.Connectthe output of your video componentsto the appropriate video input of the HomeTheater Standard.

2.Connectthe video outputs of the HomeTheater Standard to the inputs of video recordersor additional video monitors, if desired.

The componentvideo signal uses three wires that conveyluminance (Y), red minus luminance[R - Y] (Cr), andblue minusluminance[B - Y] (Cb) signals.

Use the componentconnection whenthe source device (DVD)and output device (TV) both feature componentconnections. See the user manualsincluded with these devices for moreinformation.

The HomeTheater Standardis also equippedwith four S-video inputs and four compositevideo inputs. S-video cables transmit the color and luminancecomponentsof the video signal separately. Thecombfilter within the sourceunit performsthis separation. If the source's combfilter is superior to the onewithin the video monitor, use the S-video connections. Otherwise, use compositevideo input.

The HomeTheater Standard is equipped with two S-video outputs, two composite video outputs, and one set of componentvideo outputs. OneS-video output, one composite video output, and the componentvideo output include on-screendisplay. For dubbing purposes, only the output labeled OSDdisplays on-screeninformation.

Note

S-video inputs can be seen only on S-video outputs. The sameis true for composite and componentvideo signals.

LAST: CONNECTAMPLIFIER(S)

Connectthe outputs of the HomeTheater Standardto the input(s) of your power amplifier(s).

The HomeTheater Standard has balanced outputs with XLRconnectors and single- endedoutputs with RCAconnectors. Both outputs are active at all times, allowing simultaneousconnection to separate amplifiers. Only one of these output formats should be connectedto a single amplifier. Usethe DB-25connector to connect to a DB-25-equippedamplifier.
