AT&T U-verse TV Setup Manual

Setting Up Your HDTV (High-Definition TV)
Where to Begin
Review your HDTV's User's Manual to
1
determine which type of TV connection is
recommended. Generally, it is one of three types:
HDMI to HDMI, HDMI to DVI or Component. HDMI is
recommended for the highest-quality video and is
the easiest because it includes the audio signal.
Based on the recommended connection from
2
your TV manufacturer, locate the appropriate
connection diagram on the right. Ensure that you
have all of the necessary cables and follow the
connection diagram.
Once complete, you will need to set the
3
AT&T U-verse SM receiver aspect ratio to match
the settings of your HDTV and your viewing prefer-
ence. (see page 2) Generally, HD content is best
viewed in its native 16x9 widescreen aspect ratio.
Ensure that you have subscribed to AT&T
4
U-verse HD service. If you have not done this,
please call 800-ATT-2020 to request this service.
Additional detailed information may be found in
the AT&T Receiver Manual and Features Guide.

Connect With an HDMI Connector
Some HDTVs have a high-definition multimedia Interface
(HDMI) connector. The HDMI connector provides both a
digital video and audio connection.
The HDMI connector can also provide a connection to an
HDTV with a DVI input. If your HDTV has a Digital Visual
Interface (DVI) connector, you will need an HDMI-to-DVI
adaptor and you will need to make a separate audio
connection.
Note: The DVI port on the TV must support high-
bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP).
Cables Used in This Configuration
1 HDMI-to-HDMI cable or
1 HDMI-to-DVI Adaptor, and RCA audio left/right cables
B
Connecting With Component (PrPbY) Connectors
PrPbY (red, blue and green) connectors can provide
high-definition component video signals to an HDTV.
Some HDTVs have only RGB or RGB-HV connectors. If you
have one of these HDTVs, you will need an RGB adaptor.
Check with your AT&T U-verse representative about
acquiring an RGB adaptor. You can also obtain the
adaptor through an electronic parts retailer.
Cables Used in This Configuration
1 set component video cables (PrPbY)
1 set RCA audio left/right cables
1 RGB adaptor (if necessary)
