Set-up A - Home theater system with HDTV
(HDMI TM connection)
Set-up A (see page 12) uses an HDMI
to the HDTV. This displays the highest quality picture on the HDTV and also means there will be no
picture degradation on any copy-protected programs (provided the link remains secure – see right)
Variation
S-video provides a better TV picture than composite video, therefore, if your TV and VCR have
S-video connectors, replace the composite video connection with an S-video connection to your
VCR, then connect directly via an S-video connection from your VCR to your TV (or loop through
your home theater receiver if you prefer).
Set-up B - Home theater system with HDTV
(Component video / YPbPr connection)
Set-up B (see page 13) uses a component video connection to connect to the HDTV. This displays a
high definition picture on your TV.
How you set up your equipment may depend on your home theater receiver. For example, the optical
and digital audio inputs may be associated with particular video inputs. Please see your home theater user
information for further details.

NOTES
NOTE
Copy protection via an
HDMI TM secure link
The HDMI link between your
TM
set-top and your HDTV should
be a secure link. When your
set-top is attached via an HDMI
TM
cable to an HDCP-compliant
(High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) HDTV, the HDTV
and set-top negotiate a secure
link, which allows your set-top
to transmit full resolution video
(picture) to your HDTV.
Not all HDTVs support HDCP. If
your set-top is connected to an
HDTV that does not support it,
the following may be displayed:
Your HDTV does not support HDCP.
Please use the YPbPr component
connection to watch TV.
The HDMI output is then
TM
disabled, so no picture is transmitted
from this connector. In that case use
the component video connectors to
connect up (see Set-up B). 11
