Motorola DCH3416 User Manual

The DCH receiver offers several different video connection options. Component 
video, HDMI, and IEEE-1394 allow you to view both High-Definition and Standard-
Definition TV programming. Composite video, S-Video, and RF coaxial connections 
allow you to view only Standard-Definition TV programming.  

To determine whether your TV features component video, HDMI, IEEE-1394, 
S-Video, or composite video, check the manual supplied with your TV. 

Use the guidelines below to determine the best video connection for your 
home entertainment system. Note: Only (1) video connection to the TV is 
required. HD video can only be viewed with HDMI, IEEE-1394, or component 
video connections. 

•  HDMI or IEEE-1394 — HDTV and SDTV 

HDMI and IEEE-1394 offer higher quality HD video than component video.  

• 

If your TV has an HDMI input, this is for both audio and video. Connect an 
HDMI cable to the TV and to the HDMI connector on your DCH receiver. 

• 

HDMI and IEEE-1394 outputs provide video and audio, so no separate audio 
connections are required if you plan to use your TV’s speakers as the primary 
audio source. 

• 

If your TV has a DVI input, connect a DVI-to-HDMI adapter or cable to the 
HDMI out connector on the DCH receiver and the 

DVI-HDTV

 connector on 

your TV. 

•  Component video (YPbPr) — HDTV and SDTV 

The YPbPr connectors on your DCH receiver provide HDTV and SDTV 
component video.  

•  S-Video — SDTV 

If a component video input is not available on your TV, use the S-Video 
connection.  

•  Video (also referred to as composite video) — SDTV 

If an S-Video input is not available on your TV, use the composite video 
(video) connection. 

•  RF Output — SDTV 

If no other input is available on your TV, the RF Output of the DCH3416 can 
be connected to the Antenna or Cable Input on your TV. The RF Output 
carries both video and audio. Set your TV to channel 3 or 4.
