Video Connection Options - Motorola dct6412 User Manual

Video Connection Options

The DCT* offers five different video connection options. Component
video, DVI, and IEEE 1394 allow you to view both HD and standard TV
programming. Composite video and RF coaxial connections allow you to
view only standard definition TV programming.
To determine whether your TV features component video, DVI,
IEEE 1394, S-Video, or composite video, check the manual supplied with
your TV.
Use the guidelines below to determine the best video connection for your
home entertainment system:
Component video (YPbPr) – HDTV and SDTV
The YPbPr connectors on your DCT* provide HD component video.
Component is the most widely supported HD video connection.
S-Video – SDTV
If component video connections are not available on your TV, use
the S-Video connection.
Video (also referred to as composite video) – SDTV
If S-Video is not available, use the composite video (
connection.
RF Input – SDTV
If your TV only has an RF input, you can connect to the DCT* using
a RF Modulator, which can be purchased at most electronics
stores.
DVI or IEEE 1394 – HDTV and SDTV
DVI and IEEE 1394 offer higher quality HD video than component
video.
If your TV has a DVI input, connect to the DVI-D connections on
your DCT* instead of the IEEE 1394 connection.
The IEEE 1394 is a video and audio connection, so no audio
connections are required if you are using the IEEE 1394
connection and you plan to use your TV's speakers as the primary
audio source.
HD video can only be viewed with DVI, IEEE 1394, or component video
connections.
