The video signal inputs and the RS-232 port are located at the rear of
the panel. Cables from video sources and the cable from an external
control device (if present) must be connected to these inputs.
To obtain the best performance from the HTL40 system, con-
nect the various signal sources using good quality cables
designed for video applications (rated impedance 75 ).
Ensure that:
• the cables are routed in such a way that they do not present an
obstruction to people moving around the room;
• the connectors are inserted carefully to avoid damaging the
pins;
• the cables are not twisted or crushed;
• when disconnecting the cables the connectors are not violently
pulled out of the connectors on the various units.
Video sources (television receivers, VCRs, DVD players, etc.) often
feature several outputs. To obtain the best performance from your
system, carefully choose which output to use. Generally, the type
of signal offering the best picture quality is DVI-D, followed by RGB,
Components, S-Video and Composite Video, in that order.
However, the HTL40 system is equipped with an excellent Video
Decoder and Deinterlacer and therefore even lower quality signals
will produce high quality results.
Table 1 shows the connectors to be used as inputs for RGB or YCrCb
signals (YPrPb,YUV,...)

VIDEO
This input is suitable for a Composite Video (CVBS) signal via a
cable with an RCA/Phono connector. The connector on the source
is usually yellow and is frequently labelled VIDEO. Although other
types of signals are preferable because they give better picture
quality, Composite Video is still the most common type of signal,
and most television receivers, videorecorders, DVD players, video
cameras, etc., are equipped with CVBS outputs.
