Connections for an HDTV

To use the set-top with an HDTV, you must make one of the following connections to view the HD content. Refer to
your TV user guide and the cabling diagrams in this guide for more detailed connection information.
Note: The labeling on your set-top and HDTV may vary slightly.
Required Connections to an HDTV (use one)
Some HDTVs have a High-De nition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
connector. The HDMI connector provides both a digital video and
audio connection.
See the connection diagram on page 12 for an example.
The HDMI connector can provide the 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 adapter, and you will
need to connect a separate audio connection.
See the connection diagram on page 13 for an example.
The YPbPr connectors can provide high-de nition component
video signals to an HDTV.
Note: Use the HD Setup Wizard on the set-top to set the HD
mode and select the output video format that will matches the
full capabilities of your HDTV.
See the connection diagram on page 14 for an example.
Some HDTVs have only RGB connectors. If you have one of
these HDTVs, you need an RGB adapter.
Check with your service provider for information about acquiring
an RGB adapter, or you can purchase the adapter at your local
electronics supplier.
Some HDTVs have 1394 connectors. If you connect to your HDTV
using 1394, you also need to connect separate video and audio
connections to your HDTV.
See the connection diagram on page 16 for an example.
