Video Connection Options

The QIP6xxx offers six different video connection options. Component video, HDMI, and IEEE 1394 allow you to view both HD and standard TV programming. Composite video, S-video, and RF coaxial connections allow you to view standard definition TV programming; HDTV programming can also be viewed, but it will be converted to standard format.

To determine whether your TV features component video, DVI/HDMI, IEEE 1394, S-Video, or composite video, check the manual supplied with your TV.

Use these guidelines to determine the best video connection for your home entertainment system, and then refer to the table that follows for specific procedures that apply to specific setups.

Note: HD video can only be viewed with DVI / HDMI, IEEE 1394, or component video connections.

Component video (YPbPr) – HDTV and SDTV

The YPbPr connectors on your set-top provide HD component video. Component is the most widely supported HD video connection.

HDMI or IEEE 1394 – Digital HDTV and SDTV

HDMI and IEEE 1394 are digital video interfaces that offer higher quality HD video than component video.

If your TV has a DVI or HDMI input, connect to the HDMI connector on the set-top instead of the IEEE 1394 connector. TVs with DVI ports need an HDMI adapter cable, which can be purchased at most electronic stores. See “Connecting HDTV – Video Only” for more information.

S-Video – SDTV

If component video connections are not available on your TV, use the S-VIDEOconnection.

Video (also referred to as composite video) – SDTV

If S-Video is not available, use the composite video (VIDEO) connection.
