Connecting Your Set-Top - Cisco CIS430 Installation Manual

Connecting Your Set-Top

To connect your set-top to your network and home entertainment devices, complete
these steps.
Because the connections
for a high-defi nition (HD)
or standard-defi nition (SD)
1
TV are different, you must
determine if your TV is
HD or SD. Your TV must
receive HD signals for you to enjoy the benefi ts of HDTV. Refer to the
manual that came with your TV for more information. See page 23 for
more information on picture formats.
Make one of the following connections to your home network:
• If your home network uses coaxial cable, use the TO WALL connector
on the set-top.
2
• If your home network uses twisted pair cable (phone line wiring), use
the TO WALL connector on the set-top and an adapter that converts
twisted pair to coaxial cable.
• If your home network uses Ethernet (CAT-5) cable, use the NETWORK
connector on the set-top.
Note: See page 10 for examples.
Make the connections for your TV and/or VCR as follows:
• If you are using an HDTV, see page 11 and the connection diagrams
in this guide.
3
• If you are using an SDTV, see page 12 and the connection diagrams
in this guide.
• If you want to archive some programs to VCR tape or recordable DVD,
see page 13 and the connection diagrams in this guide.
Identify the additional devices
you will connect to the set-top
and TV. See pages 14 through
4
21 and the related user's guides
for more information.
Plug the set-top and the TV into an AC power source that is not
controlled by a switch.
For further instructions on completing your setup, refer to the IP
