Table 3: Video cables, starting with highest quality connection
Connector shapes Cable type Description
HDMI A digital audio and video connection capable of displaying 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i video resolution.
The TV must be HDCP-compliant. If your TV has a DVI-D port but no HDMI port, you may use video out
put from the Moxi 3012 with an HDMI to DVI conversion cable. If an HDMI cable or an HDMI to DVI conversion cable is used along with an intermediate device such as an audio/video receiver, video might not
be passed through the intermediate device to the TV. If this happens, connect the Moxi 3012 directly to
the TV.
When configuring 480i, the output connection is automatically routed to the port into which the TV is
plugged.
You can also have video out from an HDMI cable and an analog port.

Connect to the TV and receiver
The Moxi 3012 supports multiple types of audio and video connections. It is recommended that you use the highest-quality connection
supported by both the TV or audio receiver and the Moxi.
Before installing or connecting the Moxi 3012, review all instructions
and the Regulatory Information and Product Safety Information and
Warnings document.
!
Do not plug the Moxi 3012 into a power source just yet.
1. Place the Moxi 3012 in a well-ventilated open area near the TV and
audio receiver (if used), and then connect the incoming coaxial cable
to the Moxi.
2. Install one of the following video connections (refer to the previous

• For HD and supported TVs, connect an HDMI cable between the Moxi
3012 and the HDTV (refer to the previous figure on page
56).
If an HDMI cable or an HDMI to DVI conversion cable is used along
with an intermediate device such as an audio/video receiver, video
might not be passed through the intermediate device to the TV. If
this happens, connect the Moxi 3012 directly to the TV.
• If an HDMI connection is unavailable, connect component (YPbPr)
cables for HDTV.
• For televisions where HDMI or component is not an option connect
an S-Video cable.
• When the previous options are unavailable, use a composite video
cable connected to the V port.
For complete list of available connections see, table 3 on
page 53.
3. Install one of the following audio connections (only if you are not
using HDMI):
• For digital audio, connect an S/PDIF cable to the Moxi 3012 and
receiver or TV.
• For analog audio to the TV, connect composite stereo cables between
the TV and the L and R ports.
• For analog audio with a receiver, connect composite stereo cables
between the receiver and the L and R ports.
For complete list of available connections see, table 4 on
page 54.
Do not connect Moxi 3012 to a switched power source. Doing so
increases the chance that the Moxi 3012
is turned off and is not
able to record programs as scheduled.
Connect archiving components
To add components to the TV connected to the Moxi, such as a DVDrecorder or VCR, refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for each
device.
Copy protected programs cannot be archived to a VCR and
may not work with a DVDr.
When installing any secondary device, such as a VCR, do not insert the
device in the primary signal path between the Moxi 3012
and the TV,
as this may affect the video and audio displayed on the TV. Instead,
use a secondary video input to the TV for the VCR (see the following
figure). If the content is copy protected, the picture may still appear
distorted.
As previously noted, content providers may protect their content with
copy protection technologies that limit or prohibit the copying or
viewing of their content. If the content is protected by digital copy
-

right protection systems, the picture on the additional component may
appear distorted or not at all.
You can connect a secondary, digital monitor using the IEEE 1394
port, but the monitor will not display the Moxi Menu, any other user
interface graphics, or the playback of recorded TV stored on your Moxi
3012 (see
IEEE 1394 Connectors on page 60).
Archiving simplified
The Moxi 3012 permits personal archiving subject to all applicable
third party limitations. To archive a program, you must play back the
recorded program while recording it to a connected recording device
(such as a VCR). When recording to a VCR from any port, all on-screen
activities are recorded. This includes channel changes, navigation of
the Moxi Menu, system sounds, and playback actions (pause, stop,
rewind, and fast-forward).
Choosing the archive connection
Variations in VCR and TV technology present many connection
options. Determine which connection is used between the TV and the
Moxi, and then use an alternate connection to the VCR.
When selecting the connections, consider the video resolution.
• For HD programming, use a connection that supports 720p
and/or 1080i.
• For standard definition (480i), use any video connection except
the one used by the TV. See the following table for the resolu
-
tions supported by each connection.

Archiving to a VCR
The installation instructions in this document are generic and may
need to be adjusted to suit your equipment.
Refer to the VCR manufacturer’s documentation before installation.
Always maintain an uninterrupted primary video connection directly
from the Moxi 3012 to the TV.
To use a digital VCR to archive programs:
1. Connect one video cable between the Moxi 3012 and the VCR.
• Connect component cables if they are not already used for
the TV.
• Use composite cables if component is not available.
• Use IEEE 1394 if your VCR and the Moxi 3012 support it.
Using IEEE 1394 allows you to simultaneously view and
archive live TV only, it does not support the simultaneous
playback and archiving of previously recorded TV stored on
your Moxi 3012
Use an IEEE 1394 connection to the TV as a secondary connection
only. No user interface graphics are transmitted via IEEE 1394.
Recordings made via IEEE 1394 include any channel changes and
use of the playback controls.
.
• If IEEE 1394 is not an option, use component if it is not
already used for the TV.
• Use composite if component is not available.
2. Unless you used IEEE 1394 or HDMI, which carries audio and video,
connect an audio cable between the Moxi 3012 and your VCR. Use S/
PDIF or composite.
3. Connect another set of audio and video cables between the VCR and
the TV.
4. Play the recorded program while recording with the VCR.
The TV now has at least two sets of video cables: one to watch live or
recorded programming from the Moxi, and another to watch recorded
programming from the VCR.

IEEE 1394 Connectors
There are several IEEE 1394 connector options. Make sure you have a
cable with the large 4-pin or 6-pin connector at one end for the Moxi
3012
and, at the other end, a connector that fits the digital VCR (see
the following figure).
There are three types of IEEE 1394 connectors:
6-pin powered
4-pin unpowered (used on Moxi systems)
4-pin (used on many digital media devices)
A cable with a 6-pin connector works in the larger 4-pin
port but does not supply power to the secondary device.
