1.6. Cables and Connectors

1.6.1. A/V (Audio/Video) Cables

These cables provide the audio and video signals to your stereo and

TV. The LaCinema Mini HD supports the following standards:

1. Composite video + stereo audio – This is the most standard

video connection (yellow) as well as left (white) and right (red)

stereo audio inputs. If your TV only has a SCART connector,

you can purchase a SCART-Composite adapter from your local

retailer.

2. HDMI (High-Deﬁnition Multimedia Interface) – This is the best

audio/video method for connecting the LaCinema Mini HD to

HDTVs.

3. Optical Audio (S/PDIF) (not included) – This connection allows

you to connect your LaCinema Mini HD to a digital ampliﬁer.

1.6.2. USB Cable

USB is a serial input/output technology for connecting peripheral

devices to a computer or to each other. Hi-Speed USB 2.0 is the

latest implementation of this standard, and it provides the necessary

bandwidth and data transfer rates to support high speed devices

such as hard drives, CD/DVD drives and digital cameras.

NOTE:

Your LaCinema Mini HD is shipped with a Hi-Speed USB

2.0 cable to be used to connect the product to a PC or Mac (this

cable should be connected to the rear (device) port). If you want

to connect a USB peripheral (digital camera, USB drive, etc.) to the

LaCinema Mini HD, use the USB cable that shipped with that prod-

uct and connect it to the front (host) port.

TECHNICAL NOTE: The included (device) cable will also work

when connected to a USB port, but drive performance will be lim-

ited to USB 1.1 transfer rates. To achieve Hi-Speed USB 2.0 data

transfer rates you need to be connected to a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 host

interface. Otherwise, transfer rates will be limited to USB 1.1 speeds.
