Video Connection Options

The set-top boxes offer the following video outputs:

HDTV

HDMI or Y Pb Pr (component video)

Standard TV S-Video, RCA-type, or RF coaxial

To determine the available inputs on your TV, check the manual supplied with the TV or on the TV itself. When you are familiar with the available inputs on your TV, choose the optimal video connection based on the following guidelines.

If you are connecting to an HDTV, use one of:

Best HDMI

Good Y Pb Pr

Video and

HDMI offers higher quality than component

audio

video. If your HDTV has an HDMI input, use

 

the HDMI connector. HDMI carries video

 

and audio. If you connect your HDTV using

 

HDMI, no additional audio connections to

 

the TV are necessary.

 

If your HDTV has a DVI input, you can use an

 

HDMI-to-DVI converter cable to connect to

 

the set-top box HDMI connector. Use a cable

 

with an HDMI connector on one end and a

 

DVI connector on the other end. We do not

 

recommend using an HDMI-to-DVI or

 

DVI-to-HDMI adapter. Because DVI does not

 

carry audio, a separate audio connection is

 

required for a DVI TV.

 

 

Video only

The Y Pb Pr connectors provide component

 

video, the most widely supported HDTV

 

connection. If your HDTV only has Y Pb Pr

 

inputs, use these connectors.
