The VCR and TV receive their A/V signals from the currently selected input device on the 
audio receiver. This is important when the subscriber has another A/V device such as a 
DVD player, a secondary VCR, a CD player, or other electronic component. We 
recommend connecting the TV to the monitor output so on-screen menus for the 
receiver can be displayed. (In many cases, the receivers themselves have interactive 
on-screen menus.) 
Installation Overview 
1.
  Determine if you are connecting to a: 
High-Definition 
TV or monitor  
Use the component video (YPbPr), HDMI, or IEEE-1394 outputs. No other video 
connection supports HDTV. 
If your TV has a DVI input, connect a DVI-to-HDMI adapter or cable to the HDMI out 
connector on the DCH receiver instead of the IEEE-1394 connection and the DVI-
HDTV connector on your TV. 
Standard- 
Definition TV 
Connect the S-Video connector using an S-video cable or connect the composite 
video connector using a composite (RCA phono) cable. If the TV only has a coaxial 
RF input, connect it to the DCH3416 RF OUT connector. 
2.
  Determine if you are connecting the audio to a home theater receiver or directly to 
the TV: 
• 
For an HDMI or IEEE-1394 video connection, no additional audio connections to 
the TV are required. 
• 
If the receiver or TV has a digital audio (S/PDIF) input, use the digital audio 
OPTICAL (S/PDIF)
 or 
COAXIAL (S/PDIF)
 outputs. 
• 
Otherwise, use the baseband left and right audio out outputs. 
3.
  Locate the cabling diagram(s) that best match the subscriber’s configuration. 
4.
  Connect the audio and video cables in a manner matching that diagram. 
5.
  Determine if you are connecting to a data device (see 
 in 
this section). For installation details, refer to the instructions included with the data 
device. 
6.
  Connect the cable terminal to the coaxial cable wall outlet. 
7.
  Perform the operational check for the remote control.  
8.
  Optimize the High-Definition settings. See 
 in 
this section.
