VIDEO AND AUDIO CONNECTIONS
Video Connections
Your DVR can output both standard-definition and high-definition programming.The video connections you use depend on what type of TV you have and the connectors available. Video connections to standard-definition TV Most TVs in use today are standard definition.If you are connecting your DVR to a standard-definition TV,you will use one of the following connections:
• RF coaxial cable:This connection does not support Dolby Digital 5.1.If your TV set only has an RF input,a separate RF modulator is required to connect the DVRto your TV set. • Composite video:Use a single RCA cable (typically color-coded yellow).
• S-video:Use single S-video cable. Using the composite or S-video connections will provide better picture quality than the RF coaxial connection,if your equipment supports these connections. Video connections to high-definition TV To connect your DVR to an HDTV,use one of the following connections:
• Component Video (Y Pb Pr):Use 3 component video cables (typically color-coded green,blue,and red).
• DVI:Digital Video Interface (typically available only on newer HDTVs).
You must use either component video connections or a DVI connection for HDTV — the video connections used for standard-definition programming do not support HDTV. Audio Connections To connect your DVR to your TV or your audio/video receiver,you will use one of the following:
• Stereo audio:Use RCA cables (often a joined pair with one red and one white).
• Digital coaxial audio:Use digital coaxial cable (typically color-coded orange).
• Optical digital audio:Use fiber-optic cable.
Note:Digital audio connections (digital coaxial or optical) are required to pass Dolby Digital 5.1 or 7.1 signals to your components.
The most common connection in use today is stereo audio.The audio connection options above can be used for a standard-definition or high-definition TV.If your equipment supports it, the optical (OPTICAL SPIDF) or coaxial (SPIDF) audio outputs on the DVR may be used in place of the stereo audio outputs (AUDIO R and L) and generally offer a higher level of audio quality.

Prepare For your installation

1.Ensure all electronic devices involved in the installation are unplugged.Do not plug the DVR power cord into a wall outlet until you have completed all connections between the DVR and other devices.
2.Place the DVR in the desired location.Be sure the DVR is where you want it before connecting it to other devices.Ensure your cables are of sufficient length to reach the required components.
