Connect your COMPONENT VIDEO Source Input
Before supplying power to your KD-CDA3 HDTV Distribution Amplifier unit, connect
the Output of the Component Video Source device you wish to distribute to your dis-
plays to the Inputs of KD-CDA3.
The “Source” device Outputs should be connected to the jacks marked “Input” on the
KD-CDA3. After hooking up the “Source” device to the marked input connectors, the
KD-CDA3 will distribute the selected input signal to all of the output connectors.
Alternate Video Inputs
RGBHV
RGBHV installations with separate H & V syncs preclude Audio distribution with your
KD-CDA3 unit. Simply follow the labels on your KD-CDA3 and connect the RGB
Video signals, and H&V Sync signals, accordingly. You may require breakout cables
or adapters to the RCA Inputs of the KD-CDA3.

Be careful not to confuse the Red lead of a Component Video (YPbPr) cable with the
Right or Red audio channel. To avoid confusion, note that the Red lead (Pr) from the
Component Video cable is often bundled to the Green lead (Y) and Blue lead (Pb)
from the component cable. Typically an analog Audio cable is comprised of a Right-
channel stereo (Red-colored) connector together with a Left-channel stereo (White-
colored) connector.
Typically, connecting the KD-CDA3 HDTV Distribution Amplifier into your system is as
simple as matching the proper color-coded connectors. When inserting the RCA con-
nectors use a slight twisting motion when inserting the cables, this assures a proper
connection by seating the RCA connector all the way in. Be sure to use high-quality
75 Ohms cables for the video. When running long lengths of cable please make sure
to use heavy shielded high quality cables.
Caution: For proper operation of the high quality electrical
circuits in your KD-CDA3 unit, do NOT “daisy chain” Inputs:
■
Each Input of the KD-CDA3 has its own 75 Ohms termination
■
Do NOT feed a Source to multiple KD-CDA3 Inputs without
proper Distribution equipment
Note:
Since the KD-CDA3 HDTV Distribution Amplifier does NOT perform video
processing, the output video format is the same as the input video format. This
means that the video resolution is not changed and also that if you input one form of
video, for example Component Video, the output will be in exactly the same format.
