Connections For A Standard-Definition Tv And Vcr - Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300HDC Connecting Manual

Connections for a Standard-Definition TV and VCR

When using the 8300HDC with an SDTV, you must make one of the following connections to view
content. Some SDTVs may not have all these connections. In addition, you can make connections
to a VCR to archive recordings to a VCR tape. Refer to your TV and VCR user guides and the
cabling diagrams in this guide for more detailed information.
Note: The labeling on your 8300HDC may vary slightly.
Required Connections to an SDTV (use one)
The Y/V PbPr connectors can provide standard-
definition component video signals to an SDTV.
Note: To connect PrPbY/V to an SDTV, you must set
the HD Setup Wizard on the 8300HDC to HD Mode,
and select the output video format (typically 480i) that
will match the capabilities of your SDTV.
When you set up the 8300HDC in SD mode, the Y/V
connector on the 8300HDC is configured as a
composite video out connector (V).
See the connection diagram on page 19 for an
example.
The S-Video Out connection provides an optimal video
connection to SDTVs.
The Cable Out connector provides a video and audio
connection to an SDTV.
Optional Connection to a VCR
For VCRs with Video and Left and Right Audio
connectors, you can use the Out 2 connectors (Video,
Left, and Right) on the 8300HDC.
