Tips & Warnings
For an HD signal, you'll need to use HDMI or component video cable. HDMI carries both video and surround sound audio, so if using an HDMI, connect the cable from your DVR to your home theater receiver's HDMI input and then from your receiver's HDMI out to your television. Or connect HDMI directly from DVR to TV and audio separately to the home theater receiver.
Keep all components OFF when making connections.
