Option 1: Using the Video jack

Connect a composite video cable
(supplied) from the VIDEO OUT jack
on the main unit to the video input jack
(or labeled as A/V In, Video In,
Composite or Baseband) on the TV.
Option 2: Connecting to a HDMI-
compatible TV
HDMI (High Defi nition Multimedia
Interface) is a digital interface that allows
pure digital video transmission without
the loss of image quality.
Connect a HDMI cable from the HDMI
OUT on the main unit to the HDMI IN
on a HDMI-compatible device (e.g.,
HDMI TV, HDCP compliant DVI TV).
When you have completed the necessary
connections, installation and set-up, see
'Audio Setup Page and Video Setup Page'
for optimum HDMI audio and video
settings.
Helpful Hint:
– The HDMI is backward compatible with
some DVI devices using an appropriate
adaptor plug.
