Digital Video and Home Recording

The table below will help you decide which type of connection to use for digital video. Digital video comes to your home in a compressed state, whether received on recorded media (e.g., disc) or broadcast over the air, over cable, or via satellite. Some compressed digital video is available for recording as noted in the table.

HDTV Cable Box or Satellite Receiver with Component Video

If your cable box or satellite receiver has HDMI or DVI outputs, use the connections for HDMI or DVI video devices described later in this chapter.

Required: RCA component video cables, left/right analog audio cables.

A coaxial splitter, available at most electronic supply stores, may be required to complete this installation.

1.Connect the cable from the outside cable or satel- lite service to CABLE IN or SATELLITE IN on the cable box or satellite receiver. See your device’s owner’s guide for instructions and cable compatibility.

2.Connect RCA-type cables from the Y Pb Pr outputs on the HDTV cable box or satellite receiver to Com- ponent on the TV back panel, matching the colored connections.

3.Connect left (white) and right (red) audio cables from the HDTV cable box or satellite receiver to Compo- nent /AUDIO LEFT and AUDIO RIGHT on the TV back panel.

4.Optional: To allow use of the Split Screen feature with channels from ANT 1 and the cable box or satellite receiver, connect the incoming terrestrial antenna or cable service (not satellite) to ANT 1/MAIN on the TV back panel. A coaxial splitter, available at most electronics supply stores, may be required to com- plete this installation.

Note: To receive the benefits of digital surround sound, con- nect the digital audio output from your cable box or satellite receiver directly to your digital A/V receiver.
