HT3000E
COMPOSITE VIDEO 1
Fit an RCA connector with a Composite Video (CVBS) signal to this input.
The output connector on the external appliance is normally coloured yellow and will often be labelled VIDEO.
Other signal and socket formats may be preferable (because they give better image quality), but this type of output socket is still the most commonly used, and nearly all television receivers, video recorders, DVD players and camcorders, etc. use it.
S-VIDEO 2
Fit a
This type is nearly as common as Composite Video, and is preferable to the latter, since it gives higher image quality.
RGB/YPrPb 3
These inputs use a set of 4 RCA connectors.
RGB and Component signals can be applied to each set of connectors.
RGB signals can have composite synchronisation on the green signal (RGsB), or on the HV signal.
Connect the R, G, B outputs of the source to the respective R, G, B inputs of the HT3000E (taking care not to invert the positions) and any synchronisation signals to the HV.
When hooking up, use the colours of the RCA connectors as an aid as follows: the R connector is red, G is green, B is blue and HV is white.
You can use a SCART to RCA adapter cable to connect the RGB signal from a source equipped with a SCART output to this input.
The Component signals connect to the Y, Pr and Pb inputs: take care that the inputs correspond to the outputs on the source device.
Since these can be labelled differently, refer to Table 1 to establish the correspondence between the various signals. As indicated in the table, the colours of the connectors can also be of help.
Only horizontal scanning frequencies of 15 kHz (standard video resolution) or 32 kHz (high definition video, with progressive scanning) can be applied to this input.
Progressive signals usually provide better quality than interlaced signals, but if the source features both progressive and deinter- laced signal outputs it is good practice to compare the quality
of the pictures reproduced by the HT3000E in the two cases: the deinterlacing performed by the HT3000E is often more effective than that performed by the source itself.

Using
HDMI™ 5 6
HDMI™ (High Definition Multimedia Interface) integrates an uncompressed high definition video signal with a multichannel audio signal and allows exchange of control data between the video source and the HT3000E.
The HDMI input allows connection to video sources that use the HDCP
Once the video source has been connected to the HDMI input, internal processing by the HT3000E separates the video information from the audio information. The audio information is made available on a digital output with a female TOSLINK connector in compliance with the S/PDIF standard.
