Samsung DIRECTV SIR-TS160 Owner's Manual page 30

Chapter 3: Setting up and connecting
Choose the highest quality connection that your TV supports. (See Chapter 1 and
page 19 for information on video connectors. See your TV owner's manual for
information on your TV's capabilities.) The RGB, Component, and DVI jacks can
carry any of the Digital TV and HDTV video resolutions. S-Video provides the next
best video quality, followed by the standard A/V video outputs. The TV OUT RF jack
provides a basic connection that carries both audio and video signals to your TV.
Since the RGB, Component, and DVI jacks do not output the 480i video format, do
not connect a standard definition TV capable of displaying only 480i to the RGB,
Component or DVI jacks.
Due to copyright restrictions, you may not be able to view some high definition
programs in high definition format using this product. Whenever possible you should
connect both HD (RGB, Component, DVI) and SD (S-Video, A/V, RF) interfaces to
permit SD viewing of programs if HD viewing is restricted.
For the best access to high-definition programming at the highest available
resolution broadcast by DIRECTV, connect the DVI/HDCP output to the
corresponding DVI/HDCP input that supports High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection (HDCP) technology on a High-Definition Television (HDTV) or HDTV
Monitor. Please check your HDTV or HDTV Monitor user manual or contact the
television manufacturer to find out if your HDTV or HDTV Monitor supports HDCP.
Whichever connection you choose, connect one end of the video cable(s) to the
®
appropriate OUT jack(s) on the back of the DIRECTV High-Definition Receiver.
Connect the other end of the video cable(s) to the video input(s) on your TV.
