Scenario 2
If the TV has enough RCA inputs, the console should be connected directly
to the TV. In the event that all inputs are already taken it may be possible
to reposition some of the components. For example you can connect STB
and VCR in series as pictured below, thereby freeing up an input for your
favorite gaming system. If instead of a VCR you have a DVD-player that
does not have any inputs it may be required to temporarily disconnect on
of the unused components.
Scenario 3
When adding a console gaming system to an existing home theater
system, it is recommended to connect it directly to your TV, thereby
reducing the chance of accidentally disconnecting any of the components.
Furthermore, majority of newer TV’s feature an input panel on the front
just for such purposes. If, for whatever reason, your TV does not have an
available RCA input, you can connect the console directly to the home
theater receiver, much like you would a VCR or DVD-player.
Customer does not require a wireless or firewall device as the new
Residential Gateway provides both functions. However if they wish to use
their existing device it must be placed between the PC and the Gateway.
