3 INSTALLATION Before You Begin Before you move or change components on the subscriber entertainment system: • Review the installation instructions. • Determine if you are connecting to a standard TV or a composite (baseband) monitor. • Verify that you have the necessary cables and other required items. Video Connection Options Use the following guidelines to determine the best video connection for the subscriber home entertainment system.
3 INSTALLATION Audio Connection Options Connect the stereo audio cable to the AUDIO L and R connectors on the DCH100 and the audio left and right connectors on the TV. If the equipment supports it, use the optical SPDIF or coaxial digital SPDIF output instead of the AUDIO L and R outputs. In most cases, these outputs offer better audio quality, including support for 5.1 Surround Sound.
3 INSTALLATION Cabling to a Standard-Definition TV and an A/V Receiver Figure 3-1 Cabling to a Standard-Definition stereo TV DIGITAL AUDIO L RF OUT AUDIO EXT IR R RF IN S-VIDEO VIDEO USB SERIAL POWER M-CARD™ DEVICE ONLY Standard-Definition stereoTV Stereo VCR A/V Receiver Because some entertainment equipment cannot simultaneously support baseband composite video and S-Video, never simultaneously connect both video inputs.
3 INSTALLATION Cabling to a Standard-Definition TV and Audio Receiver To connect to an audio receiver, such as a home mini system, follow a daisy-chain convention. The A/V configuration illustrated enables digital stereo recording, including Dolby Surround sound.
3 INSTALLATION Data Device Connections The DCH100 provides optional high-speed data services through its USB 1.1 port. The functionality requires and depends on installed application software.
