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 the 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™ connect on the DCX set-top.

IEEE-1394

If the HDTV has an IEEE-1394 connector, you can use the IEEE-1394 for both the video and audio connection:

•Connect an IEEE-1394 cable to the IEEE-1394 connector on the 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.

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