Connections and Setup

Connecting the Device

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) technology is an uncompressed digital connection that carries both video and audio data by way of an integrated mini-plug cable. Since HDMI technology is based on Digital Visual Interface (DVI), the jack on the back of your TV is also compatible with devices that have a DVI output jack.

If your set-top box has an HDMI jack, connect an HDMI cable.

Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI1/DVI Input jack (or the HDMI2 jack if it is more convenient) on the back of the TV and to the HDMI Out jack on the back of the device.
