Understanding Video Connection Types

Before making any video connections to the TV choose a type of connection:
Video
Cable Type Quality
Composite Good
S-Video Better
Component Best
Be aware of the following when choosing a video connection
type:
• If your A/V receiver is a Kenwood Sovereign model with
Universal Video™ or Universal Video™ HD, connect Entré
to the TV and to your receiver using the highest quality
cable type possible (see the table, above). You can use any
type of cable to connect the rest of your video compo-
nents; the receiver translates the signal correctly. See your
receiver's Setup and Connection Guide for more informa-
tion about connecting video components to your receiver.

Composite video, as the name implies,
combines the color and black & white
video signals into a single "composite"
signal carried via a single connector.
S-Video carries the color and black &
white video signals separately, through
multiple wires incorporated into a single
connector. This improves video quality
over a composite video connection.
Component video divides the video
signals into black & white, color, and
color difference, and carries each
through a separate wire and connector.
This improves video quality over an S-
Video connection.

same type of video cables.
• If your TV has only antenna connections (no video con-
nections at all), you must purchase an RF modulator that
converts video signals into antenna signals to use your TV
with Entré. RF modulators are available at most electronics
stores.
• If you previously connected your TV directly to your VCR,
you must now connect it through Entré.
Watching TV without Turning on Entré
The connection described here sets your TV up as a monitor. Use it to view
media played on your other video devices (such as a VCR or DVD player) via
Entré. You can still watch TV without having to use Entré—simply turn on your
TV as you normally do, including using a Direct Satellite Service or cable box.
