Video Connection Options

Use the following guidelines to determine the best video connection for the subscriber home entertainment system. To determine the available video inputs on the TV, check the manual supplied with the TV or the TV itself.

The DCH6416 offers the following video outputs:

Component	HDTV and	The YPbPr outputs provide component video, the most widely supported
(YPbPr)	SDTV	HD video connection.
HDMI	HDTV and	HDMI and IEEE-1394 offer higher-quality HD video than component
or	SDTV	video. If the TV has an HDMI or a DVI input, use the HDMI output
IEEE-1394		instead of the IEEE-1394 output.
		HDMI and IEEE-1394 are video and audio connections. If you use HDMI
		or IEEE-1394, no separate audio connection to the TV is required.
		HDMI is compatible with DVI. If the TV has a DVI input, you can use an
		HDMI-to-DVI converter cable or adapter to connect to the DCH6416
		HDMI connector.
		If you use IEEE-1394, on-screen graphics do not display.
S-Video	SDTV only	If your TV has an S-Video input, use S-Video. S-Video is the highest-
		quality standard-definition video output on the DCH6416.
Video	SDTV only	If your TV does not have an S-Video input, use the composite video
(composite)		(video) output.
RF	SDTV only	If your TV only has a coaxial RF input, connect it to the DCH6416 RF out
		connector.

Audio Connection Options

When connecting to a home theater receiver, depending on its inputs, you can use the following DCH6416 audio outputs:

Digital audio optical	If the receiver supports it, use the digital audio optical (S/PDIF) or digital
(S/PDIF) or digital audio	audio coaxial (S/PDIF) audio output to deliver Dolby AC-3 audio to a
coaxial (S/PDIF)	Dolby Digital home theater receiver.
	Audio is available via HDMI and IEEE-1394 and no further audio
	connection is required. For RF output no further audio connection is
	required.
Baseband Audio L and R	If the audio receiver does not support Dolby Digital, use the baseband
	AUDIO L and R outputs to connect to the audio receiver.

Connect the stereo audio cable to the AUDIO L and R connectors on the DCH6416 and the audio left and right connectors on the TV. If the equipment supports it, use the optical S/PDIF or coaxial digital S/PDIF output instead of the AUDIO L and R outputs. In most cases, these outputs offer better audio quality, including support for

5.1Surround Sound. The cabling diagrams show sample audio/video (A/V) connections to an audio receiver, where the receiver functions as an A/V router.

When connecting to an audio receiver, reference its installation instructions for directions on connecting to baseband and digital (S/PDIF) audio ports.
