Component video (Y Pb Pr)

Connect the component video cables to the Y, Pb, and Pr connectors on your cable terminal and the HDTV.

This connection carries video only. To connect the audio connections for your HDTV, refer to the following page. To connect your audio connections for a home theater receiver, refer to “Connecting To an A/V Receiver – Audio Only.”

HDMI

If your HDTV has a HDMI input, connect an HDMI cable less than 65 feet long to the HDMI OUT connector on your HDTV and the DCT3412.

If you use the TV as the primary audio source or your home theater receiver has an HDMI input and output, the HDMI connection carries video and audio.

If your TV has a DVI input, you can use an HDMI-to-DVI converter cable to connect to the DCT3412 HDMI connector.

For information on configuring your DCT3412 settings, see “Optimizing Your Cable Terminal for High-Definition TV.”

IEEE 1394

If your HDTV has an IEEE 1394 connector, you can connect an IEEE 1394 cable to the IEEE 1394 connector on your HDTV and the cable terminal.

If you use the TV as the primary audio source, the IEEE 1394 connection carries video and audio.

If you use the IEEE 1394 connection, on-screen graphics cannot display.
