Setup

Step 1: Connecting to Your Television

Choose the best available connection method for your television. For optimal picture quality, use the Component Video connection if your TV supports it. Otherwise, use S-Video or Composite Video.

1. Component Video (Best Quality): Connect the Green (Y), Blue (Pb), and Red (Pr) component video cables from the SV2000's "COMPONENT VIDEO OUT" jacks to the corresponding "COMPONENT VIDEO IN" jacks on your TV. Then, connect the White and Red audio cables from the SV2000's "AUDIO OUT" jacks to the "AUDIO IN" jacks on your TV.
2. S-Video (Better Quality): Connect an S-Video cable from the SV2000's "S-VIDEO OUT" jack to the "S-VIDEO IN" jack on your TV. Then, connect the White and Red audio cables from the SV2000's "AUDIO OUT" jacks to the "AUDIO IN" jacks on your TV.
3. Composite Video (Standard Quality): Connect a yellow RCA video cable from the SV2000's "VIDEO OUT" jack to the "VIDEO IN" jack on your TV. Then, connect the White and Red audio cables from the SV2000's "AUDIO OUT" jacks to the "AUDIO IN" jacks on your TV.
4. RF Coaxial (Basic Quality): Connect a coaxial cable from your antenna/cable source to the "RF IN" jack on the SV2000. Then, connect another coaxial cable from the SV2000's "RF OUT" jack to the "RF IN" jack on your TV. Tune your TV to channel 3 or 4.
