  • Page 16 Because of the length of cables used to drive the projection TV, the OUT2 outputs are still used to drive the projector. Since the smaller TV is no longer present, the HDS4.2’s passive component outputs of OUT1 (Pr, Pb, Y) need termination. This is accomplished by using the supplied 75 ohm RCA terminators,...
