TV with composite connector
Connect the HD DVR's composite output jacks to the TV's composite input jacks using a
composite video cable (supplied).
✍
If your TV comes with an S Video input, use the S Video connection instead of the composite video
connection for better picture quality.
✍
When connecting to a TV with a composite or S Video cable, the FORMAT should be set to SD OUT to
ensure that menus and on-screen displays are visible. With the composite or S Video connections,
any other FORMAT setting will display only video images and no menu or on-screen displays. For
more information on the FORMAT feature see page 75.
