3 INSTALLATION

The VCR and TV receive their A/V signals from the currently selected input device on the audio receiver. This is important when the subscriber has another A/V device such as a DVD player, a secondary VCR, a CD player, or other electronic component. We recommend connecting the TV to the monitor output so on-screen menus for the receiver can be displayed. (In many cases, the receivers themselves have interactive on-screen menus.)

Installation Overview

1. Determine if you are connecting to a:

High-definition

Use the component video (YPbPr), HDMI, or IEEE-1394 outputs. No other video

TV or monitor

connection supports HDTV.

 

If your TV has a DVI input, connect a DVI-to-HDMI adapter or cable to the HDMI out

 

connector on the DCH receiver instead of the IEEE-1394 connection, and the

 

DVI-HDTV connector on your TV.

 

 

Standard

Connect the S-Video connector using an S-video cable or connect the composite

definition TV

video connector using a composite (RCA phono) cable. If the TV only has a coaxial

 

RF input, connect it to the DCH6416 RF OUT connector.

 

 

2.Determine if you are connecting the audio to a home theater receiver or directly to the TV:

For an HDMI or IEEE-1394 video connection, no additional audio connections to the TV are required.

If the receiver or TV has a digital audio (S/PDIF) input, use the digital audio OPTICAL (S/PDIF) or COAXIAL (S/PDIF) outputs.

Otherwise, use the baseband left and right audio outputs.

3.Locate the cabling diagram(s) that best match the subscriber’s configuration.

4.Connect the audio and video cables in a manner matching that diagram.

5.Determine if you are connecting to a data device (see “Data Device Connections” in this section). For installation details, refer to the instructions included with the data device.

6.Connect the cable terminal to the coaxial cable wall outlet.

7.Perform the operational check for the remote control.

8.Optimize the high-definition settings. See “Optimizing the High-Definition Settings” in this section.
