HDTV and SDTV Differences

• If you connect the 3250HD to your SDTV using only the

coaxial cable at the CABLE OUT connector, your SDTV

will not receive stereo sound from the 3250HD.

Note: S-Video, Video, and coaxial cables deliver SDTV

programming. They do not deliver HDTV programming.

There are several brands and models of HDTVs in the marketplace. The

features and connectors are not the same on all brands and models.

Therefore, you have several options for connecting your TV to entertainment

devices. The connection option you choose depends on the type of TV you

have and the entertainment devices you want to connect to your TV. For the

best results, read this section to learn more about HDTV and SDTV

connection options before you begin to connect the 3250HD to your

entertainment devices.

Connection Options

• Most HDTVs have YPbPr connectors for

component video inputs.

• Some HDTVs have only RGB connectors. If you have

one of these HDTVs, you may need an RGB adaptor.

Check with your cable service provider for information

about receiving or purchasing an RGB adaptor.

• Some HDTVs have a 1394 port, also called a FireWire.

The 1394 port is a high-speed connector for electronic

devices such as digital VCRs. (Not available on the

Loop-Through model.)

1394

DVI

• Some HDTVs have a DVI or a High-Definition

Multimedia Interface (HDMI

) connector. The HDMI

connector provides both a digital video and audio

connection. The DVI connector provides only a digital

video connection. The HDMI connector provides the

optimal connection to an HDTV with either an HDMI

input or a DVI input.

Note: If your HDTV has an HDMI connector, you will

need a DVI-to-HDMI adaptor, and you will also need

a separate audio connection.
