2.3 - Connecting Your HDTV Set-Top Box

You have several options for connecting your HDTV Set-Top Box to your new P42 Plasma TV: Component, DVI and RGB inputs. Based on your home theater configuration, you can decide which option is the right one for you.

2.3.1 - Using Digital Video

HDTV Set-Top Boxes that have a digital interface compliant with the DVI (Digital Visual Interface) standard can be connected to the DVI input of the Plasma TV.

Note:

a)Use TMDS signals conforming to DVI standards. The TMDS input is a single link input.

b)To maintain the display quality, use a DVI cable from V, Inc. that is 10 meters or less.

Installation:

1.Turn off the power to the Plasma TV and HDTV Set-Top Box.

2.Connect a DVI-D cable to the DVI output of your HDTV Set-Top Box and the other end to the DVI input in the rear of your Plasma TV.

3.Connect the Audio Out on your HDTV Set-Top Box to the DVI HDTV/RGB PC Audio In of your Plasma TV.

4.Turn on the power to the Plasma TV and your HDTV Set-Top Box.

5.Select DVI using the INPUT button on the front of the Plasma TV.

Note:

a)The DVI input on your Plasma TV supports High-bandwidth Content Protection (HDCP). HDCP encrypts the transmission between the video source and the digital display for added security and protection.

b)Refer to your HDTV Set-Top Box user manual for more information about the video output requirements of the product or consult your satellite or cable operator.
