Connecting Linktheater To The Display - Buffalo PC-P3LWG User Manual

Connecting LinkTheater to the Display

There are several methods for connecting video and audio cables between your LinkTheater, your TV monitor, and
your home theater. LinkTheater comes with a Composite (RCA) cable that will connect LinkTheater to a TV. This is
probably the simplest solution; just connect video and audio directly from the linkTheater to your TV with the supplied
cable, lean back, and enjoy your new media player. However, you may get higher quality video and audio by using
other configurations. Alternate video cables such as S-Video or Component Video offer a potentially better picture
if your TV supports them. Also, if you have an A/V receiver with better speakers than your TV monitor, connecting
LinkTheater's audio output to it may give you much improved sound quality. You can even connect LinkTheater
to your A/V receiver with RCA or Toslink digital 5.1 inputs, if your receiver has these, allowing 5.1 surround sound.
Additional cables (not included) will be necessary for these configurations. If you want the best video and audio
possible, you'll probably want to connect the LinkTheater's video output to your monitor or TV with component video
cables and the audio output to an A/V receiver with an RCA or Toslink digital connection, but not all televisions and
receivers have these inputs available. If in doubt about which connections to use, consult the user manuals for your
television and your A/V receiver.
Please begin by connecting the included AC power cable into the AC In port on the back of LinkTheater. Then, plug
the AC power cable into a power outlet. If you are using an Ethernet cable to connect your LinkTheater to your
network, then plug the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the back of LinkTheater.

NOTE: The included composite cable can be used for audio with the S-Video setup; just use the red and white audio
connectors only. The yellow composite video connector can be left unplugged. For that setup, you'll also need an S-Video
cable, not included with LinkTheater, for the video connection.
