3 CONNECTING YOUR DCX SET-TOP

Composite Video (also referred to as 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 DCX3200 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.

Connecting HDTV — Single Connection for Video/Audio

Cable In

Connect an RF coaxial cable to the cable wall outlet and the CABLE IN connector on the DCX set-top.

HDMI

If your TV has an HDMI input, this is for both audio and video if you are using the TV speakers. Connect a Standard HDMI cable to the TV and to the HDMI connector on your DCX set-top.

IEEE-1394

If your HDTV has an IEEE-1394 connector, you can use the IEEE-1394 for both your video and audio connection. Connect an IEEE-1394 cable to the IEEE-1394 connector on your HDTV and DCX set-top.

Note: 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 5 for more information.

If you have an audio/video receiver and are not using your TV’s speakers, go to Connecting Your DCX Set-top to an A/V Receiver — Audio.
