4.1 Making Physical Connections
The first step in testing a sink device is to make the physical connections between the 780 and the device(s) under test.
4.1.1 Connecting the 780 to the Display Device
Use the following procedures to make the physical connections from the 780 to the display device under test.
1. Make the cable connection between the appropriate the 780 video output connector (e.g. HDMI OUT or ANALOG)
connector and the input connector of the HDTV using the cables supplied.
2. Alternatively you may connect from the 780 video output connector to an HDTV through an HDMI repeater device
such as an A/V receiver. In this case make the HDMI connection between the HDMI OUT connector on the 780 and
the HDMI input of the HDMI repeater device using an HDMI-to-HDMI cable. Then connect the HDTV to an active
output on the repeater. The following illustrations depict the typical test configurations.
