Use the following guidelines to determine the best video connection for the subscriber's
home entertainment system. To determine the available video inputs on the TV, check
the manual supplied with the TV or the TV itself.
The DCX3200 offers the following video outputs:
Component
(YPbPr)
HDMI™
or
IEEE-1394
S-Video
Video
(composite)
HDTV and
The YPbPr output provides three component analog video signals
SDTV
to the TV. It is the most widely supported HD video connection.
HDTV and
HDMI™ and IEEE-1394 provide higher-quality digital HD video
SDTV
signals than analog component video signals. If the TV has an
HDMI™ or a DVI input, use the HDMI™ output instead of the
IEEE-1394 output.
HDMI™ and IEEE-1394 are video and audio connections. If you
use HDMI™ or IEEE-1394, no separate audio connection to the TV
is required.
HDMI™ is compatible with DVI. If the TV has a DVI input, you can
use an HDMI-to-DVI converter cable or adapter to connect the DVI-
equipped TV to the HDMI-equipped DCX3200.
If you use the IEEE-1394 connection, you will be unable to see on-
screen graphics (such as the EPG).
SDTV only
If the TV has an S-Video input, use S-Video. which is the highest-
quality Standard-Definition video output on the DCX3200.
SDTV only
If the TV does not have an S-Video input, use the composite video
(video) output.
