Connectivity Diagrams


Television, Video Cassette Recorder, DVD player/Recorder (HDMI), DVD player/Blu-ray Disc player (Component)

The below diagram shows the most common connections for your configuration. For each connection type, a colour is used to make the diagram easier to understand. More information on connection types can be found here. Choose your preferred type of connection or quality level from the diagram below, but remember that when using component connection (indicated by the blue colour) you also need to connect an RCA Stereo Cable, or a Digital Coaxial cable, or an Optical cable to your television set or AV receiver to output sound, as component cable does not transmit sound.

I have followed the diagram and it is still not working. What do I do next?

  • Check that your cables are properly inserted. If necessary, disconnect and reconnect them.
  • Check that the cables in the sending device are in the out socket and are connected to the in socket of the receiving device.
  • Make sure that the correct input is selected.
  • Ensure that your cables are not faulty. You can do this by trying with other cables.
