HDTV DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER / RECEIVER (HD DVR) This HD DVR is capable of receiving signals from cable and/or over-the-air antenna sources. Included with the HD DVR are the following accessories. RF Cable, Audio Cable/Video Cable/Component (YPbPr) Cable/DVI-D Cable/G-LINK® Cable Remote Control and 2 AA Batteries Audio/Video Jacks and Cables The Audio/Video jacks provide excellent picture and sound quality. They are used for making most Audio/Video connections between components. The Audio/Video jacks may be color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and white for left audio). If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white L/mono) audio jack on the HD DVR. Component Video Out Jacks and Cables Component Video Cables are used to connect the HD DVR to an industry standard YPbPr compatible HD Monitor (green for Y, blue for Pb, and red for Pr). Remember to also connect the left and right audio cables. The YPbPr Component jacks carry only the picture signals, not the sound. DVI-HDTV Cable DVI cable is used to connect the HD DVR to an industry standard DVIHDTV compatible HD monitor. Remember to also connect the left and right audio cables. A DVI jack carries only the video signals, not the audio. G-LINK Cable G-LINK Cable is used to control cable box with the TV Guide On ScreenTM System.
