Connecting Your Device
Cabling to an HDTV for Video
For the best possible HDTV video quality:
1. If the TV has an HDMI input, connect it to the DCX set-top HDMI output. If the TV has a DVI input, connect it to the DCX set-top HDMI output using an HDMI-to-DVI converter cable or adapter.
2. If the TV has neither an HDMI nor a DVI input but has an IEEE-1394 input, connect it to the DCX set-top IEEE-1394 output.
If you use IEEE-1394, on-screen graphics do not display. Otherwise, use the component video (Y, Pb, and Pr) connectors.
Note: Be sure to match up each signal to the same connection on the TV. Otherwise, the colors will not appear correctly on your TV.
L/R Audio connection or digital audio S/PDIF connection is required for sound with component video.
Note: Because HDMI provides both video and audio output, no additional audio connections to the TV are required.
