AUDIO/VIDEO CONNECTIONS
Before you move or change components on your entertainment system,
review the following:
•
For basic cable connections, use 75-ohm coaxial cables equipped
with F-type connectors. A 6-foot coaxial cable is provided to
connect the DCT* to your cable wall outlet. A 6-foot component
video cable and left/right audio cables are also provided to connect
the DCT* to your TV.
•
If your equipment supports it, S-video connections may be used in
place of the standard RCA video connections. In most cases,
S-video offers a higher level of standard definition video quality
than RCA video
•
If your equipment supports it, the optical (
OPTICAL SPDIF
) or coaxial
digital (
SPDIF
) audio outputs may be used in place of the stereo
audio outputs (
AUDIO R
and
L
). In most cases these outputs offer a
higher level of audio quality, including support for 5.1 Surround
Sound.
•
If you are connecting a coaxial cable from the
TO TV
/
VCR
connector
on the DCT* to the coaxial
CABLE
/
ANTENNA IN
connector on the TV,
you must tune your TV to channel 3 or 4 to view the DCT* output.
Connecting the DCT* in this manner will remove its high definition
video capability.
•
Disconnect power from the DCT* before connecting or changing
cable connections.
The DCT* offers Component and DVI video outputs. These outputs
provide a high level of video quality. If your High Definition television
(HDTV) or home theater receiver supports either of these connections,
use one or the other instead of the RCA type or S-Video connections.
For more information on connecting High Definition video, see
“Connecting your DCT* to an HDTV – Video Only” on page 16.
CAUTION!
Do not place anything on top of the DCT*
,
especially other home
entertainment components. Be sure to provide adequate ventilation to
prevent overheating.
