Connecting HDTV — Separate Video/Audio Connections

Cable In

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

DVI

If the TV has a DVI input, use the DVI connection for the video:

•Connect a HDMI-to-DVI adapter or cable to the HDMI™ out connector on the DCX set-top and the DVI connector on the TV.

Note: A DVI connection supports only the video connection between the DCX set-top and the HDTV. To connect your audio connections with your TV speakers, go to Audio section below. To connect the audio connections for an A/V receiver, go to Connecting the DCX Set-top to an A/V Receiver — Audio.

Component Video (YPbPr)

Connect the component video cables to the Y, Pb, and Pr connectors on the HDTV and the DCX set-top.

Note: This connection supports only the high-definition video connection between the DCX set-top and the HDTV. To connect your audio connections with your TV speakers, go to Audio section below. To connect the audio connections for the HDTV, go to Connecting the DCX Set-top to an A/V Receiver — Audio.

Audio

If the TV does not have digital audio inputs:

•Connect the stereo audio cable to the AUDIO L and R connectors on the DCX3200 Series set-top and the audio left and audio right connectors on the HDTV.

If the TV supports a digital audio input:

•If the equipment supports it, use the digital audio OPTICAL S/PDIF or COAXIAL S/PDIF outputs instead of the AUDIO L and R outputs. S/PDIF offers better audio quality, including support for Dolby® Digital audio.
