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

The DCX3200 offers the following video outputs:

Component

HDTV and

The YPbPr output provides three component analog video signals

(YPbPr)

SDTV

to the TV. It is the most widely supported HD video connection.

 

 

 

HDMI™

HDTV and

HDMI™ and IEEE-1394 provide higher-quality digital HD video

or

SDTV

signals than analog component video signals. If the TV has an

IEEE-1394

 

HDMI™ or a DVI input, use the HDMI™ output 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 the DVI-

 

 

equipped TV to the HDMI-equipped DCX3200.

 

 

If you use the IEEE-1394 connection, you will be unable to see on-

 

 

screen graphics (such as the EPG).

 

 

 

S-Video

SDTV only

If the TV has an S-Video input, use S-Video. S-Video is the highest-

 

 

quality Standard-Definition video output on the DCX3200.

 

 

 

Video

SDTV only

If the TV does not have an S-Video input, use the composite video

(composite)

 

(video) output.

 

 

 

RF

SDTV only

If the TV only has a coaxial RF input, connect it to the DCX3200

 

 

RF out connector.
