HDMI or IEEE-1394 — HDTV and SDTV
HDMI and IEEE-1394 offer higher quality HD video than component video.
•If your TV has an HDMI input, this is for both audio and video. Connect a Standard HDMI cable to the TV and to the HDMI connector on your DCX 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 6 for more information.
•If your TV has a DVI input, connect a HDMI-to-DVI 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.
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.
S-Video — SDTV
If a component video input is not available on your TV, use the S-Video connection.
Note: S-Video does not provide audio. A separate audio connection must be made.
Composite Video — SDTV
If an S-Video input is not available on your TV, use the composite video (video) connection.
Note: Composite video does not provide audio. A separate audio connection must be made.
RF Output — SDTV
If no other input is available on your TV, the RF Output of the DCX3501-M set-top can be connected to the Antenna or Cable Input on your TV. The RF Output carries both video and audio. Set your TV to channel 3 or 4.
