How to Connect: TV + DTVLink and/or IEEE-1394 Components

Two connection methods when connecting IEEE-1394 and DTVLink components are: component-to-component or hub. The component-to-component method is each component connected in a chain-like fashion, one to the other with the first component in the chain connected to the DTVLink jack on the TV. The hub method is basically the same but using both 1394 jacks with two chains of components connected. Your TV is a control center for the connected compatible components, automatically recognizing each component and placing it in the Input list.

Note: If you’ve tuned to a 1394 input, you can control some basic transport functions on the component like RECORD, STOP, FAST FORWARD, REVERSE, PAUSE, and PLAY when remote is in TV mode.

Three types of 1394 connectors are available on 1394 components; 4-pin connector (no power); 6-pin connector (with power) and 6-pin connector (without power supplied). Your HDTV has a 6-pin connector (without power supplied). Both the 4-pin and 6-pin connectors are capable of sending digital audio, digital video, and digital control signals back and forth between components. In addition, the 6-pin connector is capable of sending low voltage electrical power. If you should have some components with 4-pin connectors, 4-to-6 pin adapter cables are available from your local electronic stores.

You should know:

Connect your 1394 components to either DTVLink (1394) jack.

Only compatible 1394 components are to be connected to the DTVLink (1394) input/output jack.

Do not loop the 1394 components back to the TV. That is, each 1394 connection chain should have only one connection point to the TV, or the network might not work.

Place the slower components at the end of the chain and the faster ones closest to the TV in the chain for faster communication speed. See component’s manual for 1394 network speed.

The TV can’t decode DV format of some camcorders, but it can decode/accept MPEG2 format from some camcorders.

Note: The TV sends audio/video through the 1394 jack (labeled DTVLink) only to a component that enforces video copy protection.

HDLP50W151 specifications

The RCA HDLP50W151 is a 50-inch high-definition rear-projection television that was notable for its advanced technology and features when it was released. Designed to deliver a captivating viewing experience, this model combines a range of innovative technologies with aesthetic appeal and user-friendly functionality.

One of the standout features of the RCA HDLP50W151 is its Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology. DLP is known for producing sharp images and vibrant colors by utilizing micro-mirrors to project a clearer picture. This technology also aids in reducing motion blur, making it ideal for fast-paced sports and action movies. The dynamic contrast ratio enhances the viewer's experience by differentiating between dark and bright scenes, delivering richer blacks and brighter whites.

The LCD display utilizes a native resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, which, while not full HD, provides a solid picture quality that is particularly effective for television broadcasts and standard-definition content. The 16:9 aspect ratio of the RCA HDLP50W151 allows for a wide viewing angle and is compatible with widescreen formats, ensuring that viewers can enjoy cinematic experiences from various positions in the room.

Connectivity is another strong point of the RCA HDLP50W151. It typically comes equipped with multiple HDMI ports and component inputs, allowing users to connect a range of devices such as gaming consoles, DVD players, and streaming devices. The inclusion of a built-in tuner means that users can access over-the-air broadcasts without the need for an additional set-top box, making it convenient for cord-cutters.

In terms of sound, the RCA HDLP50W151 incorporates a robust audio system that enhances the overall experience. Enhanced audio features work to produce clear dialogue and dynamic sound effects, complementing the high-quality visuals.

Finally, the sleek design of the RCA HDLP50W151 makes it an attractive addition to any living room. Its slim profile and elegant finish allow it to blend seamlessly with modern home decor while providing a powerful viewing experience.

Overall, the RCA HDLP50W151 stands out as a solid choice for those seeking a theater-like experience at home, offering a blend of advanced technology, convenience, and style. Its DLP technology, substantial connectivity options, and quality audio system contribute to its enduring appeal in the world of consumer electronics.
