Cabling to an HDTV for Video

For the best possible HDTV video quality:

•If the TV has an HDMI input, connect it to the DCH3416 HDMI output. If the TV has a DVI input, you can connect it to the DCH3416 HDMI output using and HDMI-to-DVI converter cable or adapter.

•If the TV has neither an HDMI nor a DVI input but has an IEEE-1394 input, connect it to the DCH3416 IEEE-1394 output. If you use IEEE-1394, on-screen graphics do not display.

•Otherwise, use the component video (Y, Pb, and Pr) connectors.

Note: Be sure to match up each signal to the same connection on the TV. Otherwise, the colors will not appear correctly on your TV.

Because HDMI and IEEE-1394 provide both video and audio output, no additional audio connections to the TV are required if you use either of these connections.
