Connections for a High-Defi nition TV (HDTV)
To use the set-top with an HDTV, you must make one of the following connections to view
the HD content. Refer to the user manual for your TV and the cabling diagrams in this
manual for more detailed connection information.
Although all connections provide you with quality service, we list the connections in our
recommended order.
Notes:
• The labeling on your set-top or HDTV may vary slightly from the illustrations shown below.
• Some cables shown in the connection diagrams may not be included with this set-top.
• Set the HD mode and select the output video format (480i, 720p, 1080i) on the set-top.
See page 30 for more information on picture formats.

Connections to an HDTV
Some HDTVs have a High-Defi nition Multimedia
Interface (HDMI) connector. The HDMI connector
provides both a digital video and audio connection.
See the connection diagram on page 14 for an
example.
Note: The HDMI port on the TV must support
high-bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP).
The HDMI connector can provide the
connection to an HDTV with a DVI input. If
your HDTV has a Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
connector, you need an HDMI-to-DVI adapter,
and a separate audio connection (either L/R or
optical audio).
Note: The DVI port on the TV must support
high-bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP).
See the connection diagram on page 15 for an
example.
The YPbPr (red, blue, and green)
connectors provide high-defi nition
component video signals to an HDTV, and
a separate audio connection (either L/R or
optical audio).
See the connection diagram on page 16
for an example.
Some HDTVs have only RGB or RGB-
HV connectors. If you have one of these
HDTVs, you need a Component-to-RGB
adapter, and you need a separate audio
connection.
