Table 6 – VMS1100 Video Outputs
CONNECTION TYPE TV TYPE DESCRIPTION
Component (YPbPr)
HDTV and SDTV
The YPbPr outputs provide component video, the
most widely supported HD video connection.
HDMI or IEEE-1394
HDTV and SDTV
• HDMI and IEEE-1394 offer higher quality HD
video than component video. If the TV has an
HDMI or a DVI input, use
the HDMI output instead
of the IEEE-1394 output.
• HDMI and IEEE-1394 are video and audio
connections. If you use HDMI or IEEE-1394, no
separate audio connection to the TV is required.
• HDMI is compatible with DVI. If the TV has a DVI
input, you can use an HDMI-to-DVI converter
cable or adapter to connect to the VMS1100
HDMI connector.
• If you use IEEE-1394, on-screen graphics do not
display.
Video (Composite)
SDTV only
If the TV does not have an S-Video input, use the
composite video output (video).
Audio Connection Options
When connecting to a home theater receiver, depending on its inputs, you can use the following VMS1100
audio outputs:
Table 7 – VMS1100 Audio Outputs
CONNECTION TYPE DESCRIPTION
Digital audio optical (S/PDIF) or
digital audio coaxial (RCA)
If the receiver supports it, use the digital audio optical (S/PDIF)
or digital audio coaxial (RCA) audio output to deliver Dolby
Digital audio to a Dolby Digital home theater receiver.
Audio is available via HDMI and no further audio connection is
required. For RF output, no further audio connection is
required.
Baseband Audio L and R
If the audio receiver does not support Dolby Digital, use the
baseband AUDIO L and R outputs to connect to the audio
receiver.
