If you subscribe to a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an A/B Switch box (available from the cable company or an electronics supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the “B” position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV/DVD. With the switch in the “A” position, tune your TV/DVD to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/ descrambler box to tune scrambled channels.

Connecting to an optional equipment with S-video output

If you connect a VCR with an S-VIDEO cable to the S-VIDEO IN jack on the rear lower left of the TV/DVD, you must also connect the audio cables to the AUDIO IN jacks on the rear lower left of the TV/DVD (LINE 1 IN). The S-VIDEO cable only carries the video signal. The audio signal is separate.

Note: When the S-VIDEO cable and the standard video cable are connected at the same time, the S-video cable takes precedence.

The ColorStream® inputs on this unit are for use with devices that output 480i interlaced signals and 480p progressive signals. This unit will not accept or display 720p progressive scan signals or 1080i interlaced high-definition signals. If you connect a highdefinition set-top receiver, 720p progressive scan DVD player, or other similar device to the unit’s ColorStream® inputs, YOU MUST SWITCH THE DEVICE’S OUTPUT TO 480i INTERLACED OR 480p PROGRESSIVE MODE FIRST. Failure to do this will cause a poor or no picture to display.

Notes:

•Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected equipment as well.

•When you connect the unit to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the wall outlet before making any connections.

•If you place the unit near a tuner or radio, the radio broadcast sound might be distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the tuner and radio.
