Connecting Your Set-Top
HDMI and IEEE-1394 outputs provide video and audio, so no separate audio connections
are required if you plan to use your TV's speakers as the primary audio source.
On-screen graphics will not be displayed when you are using the IEEE-1394 connection
on the rear panel of the DCX set-top. Refer to Section 5 for more information.
If your TV has a DVI input, connect a DVI-to-HDMI adapter or cable to the HDMI out
connector on the DCX set-top and the DVI-HDTV connector on your TV.
Note: DVI does not provide audio. A separate audio connection must be made. IEEE-
1394 connection is available only on M-card/US models.
Component video (YPbPr) — HDTV and SDTV
The YPbPr connectors on your DCX set-top provide HDTV and SDTV component video.
Note: Component video does not provide audio. A separate audio connection must be
made.
Composite Video (also referred to as Video) — SDTV
If none of the above inputs are available on your TV, use the composite video (video)
connection.
Note: Composite video does not provide audio. A separate audio connection must be
made.
Connecting HDTV — Single Connection for Video/Audio
Cable In
Connect an RF coaxial cable to the cable wall outlet and the cable in connector on the
DCX set-top.
HDMI
If your TV has an HDMI input, this is for both audio and video if you are using the TV
speakers. Connect a Standard HDMI cable to the TV and to the HDMI connector on your
DCX set-top.
IEEE-1394 (M/Card/US models only)
If your HDTV has an IEEE-1394 connector, you can use the IEEE-1394 for both your
video and audio connection. Connect an IEEE-1394 cable to the IEEE-1394 connector on
your HDTV and DCX set-top.
Note: On-screen graphics will not be displayed when you are using the IEEE-1394
connection on the rear panel of the DCX set-top. Refer to Section 5 for more information.
If you have an audio/video receiver and are not using your TV's speakers, go to
Connecting Your DCX Set-top to an A/V Receiver — Audio.
