Back Panel Jacks and Switches (in alphabetical order)
AIR Connect a standard TV antenna to the HDTV Tuner using this jack.
Audio outputs (R and L) – Monitor Out/Component Out RCA-type stereo audio cables offer stereo analog audio from these jacks.
Connect a second set of audio cables to another component, such as a VCR or stereo receiver.
CABLE 75Ω Connect your cable outlet to the HDTV Tuner using this jack.
Component Out (Y PB PR) Provides excellent picture quality, surpassing that of S-Video and composite video. Y Pr Pb jacks divide a
video signal into three separate component video signals. You must also connect the left and right audio cables to the TV (or a digital
audio cable to a digital audio receiver/decoder) because component video cables carry only the picture signal, not the sound.
Digital Audio Out (Coaxial and Optical) Connects the HDTV tuner's audio to a Dolby Digital-capable or PCM-only receiver or decoder.
This audio connection provides the best sound quality. Use either the optical or the coaxial digital audio output jacks (not both).
DTV Out Select If you've made a digital connection (using the Component Out or DVI-HDTV jacks) between your HDTV Tuner and
your monitor or TV, set this switch to match the connector you used. You don't need to set this switch for S-Video or composite video
connections.
DVI-HDTV/RGB Out Provides the HDTV Tuner's best picture quality. Use this jack to connect a DVI-HDTV-compatible high-definition
monitor. This provides high-definition picture quality when high-definition broadcasts are viewed. You must also connect the left and
right audio cables to the TV (or a digital audio cable to a digital audio receiver/decoder) because the DVI-HDTV cable carries only the
picture signal, not the sound.
If your monitor has an RGB input instead of a DVI-HDTV input, use the RGB to DVI-HDTV adapter (supplied) to connect an RGB-
compatible high definition monitor. RGB connections provide high definition picture quality when high definition broadcasts are viewed.
You must also connect the left and right audio cables to the TV (or a digital audio cable to a digital audio receiver/decoder) because the
RGB cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
RESOLUTION SELECT If you've used a composite video or S-Video connection between the HDTV Tuner and your monitor, set this
switch to ANALOG (480i). If you've used a component video, RGB or DVI-HDTV connection between the HDTV Tuner and your monitor,
set this switch to the highest DTV resolution setting your monitor or TV can support – 1080i, 720p or 480p (see your monitor or TV user's
guide for information regarding its maximum video resolution). You can also use 480i with component video connections for analog
monitors.
S-VIDEO OUTPUT Provides better picture quality than the Monitor Out Video (composite) output. If you do not have an HD-ready
monitor, but your TV has an S-Video jack, use it instead of a composite (yellow) video output to connect to your TV. You must also
connect the left and right audio cables to the TV (or a digital audio cable to a digital audio receiver/decoder) because the S-Video cable
carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
For Service This jack is for use by service personnel only. Do not connect anything to this jack.
VIDEO Use this jack if your TV does not have DVI-HDTV, RGB, component video or S-Video inputs. You must also connect the left and
right audio cables to the TV (or a digital audio cable to a digital audio receiver/decoder) because the video cable carries only the picture
signal, not the sound.
