Connecting HDTV – Video Only
1 Connect an RF coaxial cable to the cable wall outlet and the
CABLE IN connector on the cable terminal.
2 Connect the HDTV using component video, HDMI, or IEEE 1394.
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 20
meters long to the HDMI OUT connector on your HDTV and the DCT3400.
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 DCT3400 HDMI connector.
For information on configuring your DCT3400 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.
