Connecting the DTR-8.4
—Continued
The DTR-8.4 offers several connection formats for com-
patibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The for-
mat you choose will depend on the formats supported by
your AV components. Use the following section as a
guide.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the DTR-8.4 using
the following video connection formats: composite
video, S-Video, or component video, the latter offering
the best picture quality.
The following diagram shows that composite video input
signals are output by composite video and S-Video out-
puts, and that S-Video input signals are output by
S-Video and composite video outputs.
If you connect a video source to a component video
input, you’ll need to connect your TV or projector to the
component video output. Normally, component video
input #1 or #2 feeds the component video output. How-
ever, you can configure the DTR-8.4 to output composite
video and S-Video input signals as component video (see
“Component Video Setup” on page 47).
Depending on the type of video input on your TV, choose
one of the following connection methods.
