Connecting the Home Theater Standard to Your System, continued
NEXT: CONNECT VIDEO SOURCES
Note
See Read This First, on page 5, for information on making the on-screen display visible
on your video monitor.
1. Connect the output of your video components to the appropriate video input of the
Home Theater Standard.
2.
Connect the video outputs of the Home Theater Standard to the inputs of video
recorders or additional video monitors, if desired.
The component video signal uses three wires that convey luminance (Y), red minus
luminance [R - Y] (Cr), and blue minus luminance [B - Y] (Cb) signals.
Use the component connection when the source device (DVD) and output device (TV)
both feature component connections. See the user manuals included with these devices
for more information.
The Home Theater Standard is also equipped with four S-video inputs and four
composite video inputs. S-video cables transmit the color and luminance components of
the video signal separately. The comb filter within the source unit performs this
separation. If the source’s comb filter is superior to the one within the video monitor, use
the S-video connections. Otherwise, use composite video input.
The Home Theater Standard is equipped with two S-video outputs, two composite video
outputs, and one set of component video outputs. One S-video output, one composite
video output, and the component video output include on-screen display. For dubbing
purposes, only the output labeled OSD displays on-screen information.
Note
S-video inputs can be seen only on S-video outputs. The same is true for composite
and component video signals.
LAST: CONNECT AMPLIFIER(S)
Connect the outputs of the Home Theater Standard to the input(s) of your power
amplifier(s).
The Home Theater Standard has balanced outputs with XLR connectors and single-
ended outputs with RCA connectors. Both outputs are active at all times, allowing
simultaneous connection to separate amplifiers. Only one of these output formats
should be connected to a single amplifier. Use the DB-25 connector to connect to a
DB-25-equipped amplifier.
