Stereo TV
Stereo TV and Stereo VCR
Home Theater Receiver, TV, and VCR
Before you move or change components on your entertainment system,
disconnect power from the TV receiver.
Video Connection Options
The VIP1200 Series offers the following video outputs:
HDTV
Component video or HDMI
Standard
Composite video, S-Video, or RF coaxial
To determine the available inputs on your TV, check the manual supplied
with the TV or on the TV itself. Use the following guidelines to determine
the best video connection for your system. Use one of:
HDMI
Video and
audio
HDMI offers higher video quality than component
video. If your HDTV has an HDMI input, use the
HDMI connector.
If your HDTV has a DVI input, you can use an
HDMI-to-DVI converter cable to connect to the
VIP1200 HDMI connector. Use a cable with an
HDMI connector on one end and a DVI connector
on the other end. We do not recommend using an
HDMI-to-DVI or DVI-to-HDMI adapter. Because
DVI does not carry audio, a separate audio
connection is required for a DVI TV.
Component
video
Video only The Y Pb Pr connectors provide component video,
the most widely supported HDTV connection.

S-Video
Video only If your standard TV has an S-Video input, use
S-VIDEO, which is the highest quality
standard-definition video output on the VIP1200.
Composite
video
Video only If your standard TV does not have an S-Video
input, use the composite VIDEO OUT connector.
RF coaxial
Video and
audio
If your TV only has a coaxial RF input, use the
coaxial TO TV (VIDEO OUT) connector.
Audio Connection Options
To connect your TV or a home theater receiver for audio, depending on
its capabilities, you can use one of the following VIP1200 audio outputs:
OPTICAL
If the equipment supports it, use the OPTICAL output to deliver
S/PDIF Dolby audio. In most cases, it offers better quality,
including support for Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound.
AUDIO OUT
R and L
If the equipment does not support Dolby Digital, use the baseband
AUDIO L and R outputs to the TV or home theater receiver.
The cabling diagrams show sample audio/video (A/V) connections to a
home theater receiver, where the home theater receiver functions as an
A/V router. When connecting to a home theater receiver, refer to its
installation manual for information about its baseband or S/PDIF inputs.

VIP1200 Series Installation Manual
CONNECTING TO AN HDTV – VIDEO ONLY
•
•
Connect an RF coaxial cable to the cable wall outlet and the
TO WALL (VIDEO IN) connector on the TV receiver.
If your HDTV has an HDMI input, connect an HDMI cable to the
HDMI connector. HDMI connection carries both video and audio
signals.
•
•
If your HDTV has a DVI input, you can use an HDMI-to-DVI
converter to connect to the VIP1200 HDMI connector.
If your HDTV has component video, connect component video
cables to the Y, Pb, and Pr connectors.
DVI and component video carry video signals only. To connect the audio,
refer to the following page. To connect to a home theater receiver, refer
to “Connecting to a Home Theater Receiver – Audio Only.”

VIP1200 Series Installation Manual
CONNECTING TO AN HDTV – AUDIO ONLY
If your equipment supports it, use the OPTICAL S/PDIF output.
Otherwise, use the AUDIO OUT L and R connectors. In most cases,
S/PDIF offers better audio quality, including support for Dolby 5.1
Surround Sound.
HDMI carries video and audio. If you connect your HDTV using HDMI, no
additional audio connections to the TV are necessary.
