Component

HDTV and SDTV

The YPbPr output, providing three component analog video

(YPbPr)

 

signals to the TV, is the most widely supported HD video

 

 

connection.

 

 

 

HDMI or IEEE-1394

HDTV and SDTV

HDMI and IEEE-1394 provide higher-quality digital HD

 

 

video signals than component video signals. If the TV has

 

 

an HDMI or a DVI input, use the HDMI output instead of

 

 

the IEEE-1394 output.

 

 

HDMI and IEEE-1394 are video and audio connections. If

 

 

you use HDMI or IEEE-1394, no separate audio

 

 

connection to the TV is required.

 

 

HDMI is compatible with DVI. If the TV has a DVI input,

 

 

you can use an HDMI-to-DVI converter cable or adapter to

 

 

connect the DVI-equipped TV to the HDMI-equipped

 

 

DCX3510-M.

 

 

If you use the IEEE-1394 connection, the subscriber will

 

 

be unable to see on-screen graphics (such as the EPG).

 

 

 

Video (composite)

SDTV only

The composite video is an analog video connection for SDTV

 

 

services and requires a separate audio connection.
