Video Connection Options

The DCX set-top offers several different video connection options. Component video, HDMI,
and IEEE-1394 allow you to view both High-Definition and Standard-Definition TV
programming. Composite video connections allow you to view only Standard-Definition TV
programming. HD programming will be down-converted to SD format for SD outputs.
To determine whether your TV features component video, HDMI, IEEE-1394, or composite
video, check the manual supplied with your TV.
Use the guidelines below to determine the best video connection for your home
entertainment system.
Note: Only one video connection to the TV is required. HD video can only be viewed with HDMI, IEEE-
1394, or component video connections.
