For example, if your TV supports a component video connection, connect the DVD recorder to your TV using component video instead of composite video or S-Video. Connection Quality Cable and Connector Description Good Composite. The video signal is carried through a single “pin.” This connection method is the one that is most commonly found on devices. Better S-Video. The video signal is split into two signals, black-and-white and color. Text displayed on-screen through this connection will be noticeably sharper then composite or coaxial (RF). Best Component. The video signal is split into three signals, two color and one black-and-white. Use component video to take advantage of the superior picture provided by signal sources as HDTV and progressive DVD. 16 www.gateway.com Connecting a TV Connecting a TV You can connect a TV using one of the following connection types: ■ Composite video (good video quality) ■ S-Video (better video quality) ■ Component best video quality) Using composite video TV Audio/Video cable IN Antenna VIDE RIG F / UH VHF IN RF O HT IO AU D LEFT C TV able oor ante na nten or a Indo Outd nna CO AXI AL R L OPT Y S- R Cb L VI DE O OU VI DE IC AL O T Cr VI S- VI DE DE O IN O RF (coaxial) cable To connect a TV using composite video: 1 Connect the TV In jack on the back of your DVD recorder to your antenna or cable TV outlet. 2 Connect the TV Out jack on the back of your DVD recorder to the VHF/UHF In jack on the back of your TV. www.gateway.com 17 Chapter 2: Connecting Your DVD Recorder 3 Connect the yellow A/V In jack on the back of your DVD recorder to the yellow VIDEO 1 jack on the back of your TV. 4 Connect the red (R) and white (L) A/V In jacks on the back of your DVD recorder to the AUDIO OUT jacks on the back of your TV.
