Notes
•The DVI-HDTV port has a higher priority when both the RGB and DVI-HDTV ports are connected.
•For the best access to High-Definition Programming at the highest available resolution broadcast by
DIRECTV, connect the DVI-HDTV output to the corresponding DVI input that supports high-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection (HDCP) technology on a High-Definition Television (HDTV) or HDTV monitor.
Please check your HDTV or HDTV Monitor user manual or contact the television manufacturer to find out
if your HDTV or HDTV Monitor supports HDCP.
