Connections for an HDTV and VCR

To use the set-top with an HDTV, you must make one of the following connections to view the HD content. In
addition, you can make connections to a digital or analog VCR to record to a VCR tape. Refer to your TV and VCR
user guides and the cabling diagrams in this guide for more detailed connection information.
Note: The labeling on your set-top, HDTV, and VCR may vary slightly.
Required Connections to an HDTV (use one)
Some HDTVs have a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
connector. The HDMI connector provides both a digital video and
audio connection.
See the connection diagram on
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
The YPbPr connectors can provide high-definition component
video signals to an HDTV.
Note: On the front panel of the set-top, press GUIDE and INFO at the
same time. This will activate the HD Setup Wizard. 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
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

For VCRs with Video and Left and Right audio connectors, you
can use the Out 2 connectors (Video, Left, and Right) on the

you can use the S-Video Out and the Out 2 Left and Right
