CONNECTING THE EQUIPMENT (cont.)
About Set-up C: Using an HDMI cable to connect a TV and S-video cable to connect
a VCR
In this set-up, a VCR is added to the basic set-up. The way in which you connect the HDTV to the
set-top (either HDMI or component video) does not affect the way you connect the VCR. Therefore
an HDMI connection between the set-top and the TV is shown on page 20. (It could be component
video instead).
• If the VCR and HDMI TV have S-video connectors, use S-video cables (4 and 5), as this gives a
better quality picture. If there are no S-video connectors, use the baseband video jacks and
video 75 ohm coaxial cables.
• Use baseband audio jack cables: cable 6 (from the set-top’s PRIMARY AUDIO OUT jacks) and
cable 7 (between the VCR and the HDMI TV).
• The path for recording on the VCR is cables 6 (baseband stereo audio) and cable 4 (S-video) (or
via baseband video jacks).
• The path for playing back from the VCR is cables 7 (baseband stereo audio) and cable 5 (Svideo)
(or via baseband video jacks).
• If the HDTV has only one pair of baseband audio input jacks and you are using them to connect
the set-top to the HDTV (for example, if you are using component video, rather then HDMI),
you can connect the baseband audio cables (7) from the VCR to the AUDIO IN jacks on the
set-top. The audio then loops through the set-top when the VCR is playing back. The set-top
needs to be turned off for this baseband loopthrough to occur.
