2.3 - Connecting Your HDTV Set-Top Box
You have several options for connecting your HDTV Set-Top Box to your new P42 Plasma TV:
Component, DVI and RGB inputs. Based on your home theater configuration, you can decide
which option is the right one for you.
2.3.1 - Using Digital Video
HDTV Set-Top Boxes that have a digital interface compliant with the DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
standard can be connected to the DVI input of the Plasma TV.
Installation:
1. Turn off the power to the Plasma TV and HDTV Set-Top Box.
2. Connect a DVI-D cable to the DVI output of your HDTV Set-Top Box and the other end to
the DVI input in the rear of your Plasma TV.
3. Connect the Audio Out on your HDTV Set-Top Box to the DVI HDTV/RGB PC Audio In of
your Plasma TV.
4. Turn on the power to the Plasma TV and your HDTV Set-Top Box.
5. Select DVI using the INPUT button on the front of the Plasma TV.
Note:
a) Use TMDS signals conforming to DVI standards. The TMDS input is a single link
input.
b) To maintain the display quality, use a DVI cable from V, Inc. that is 10 meters or less.
Note:
a) The DVI input on your Plasma TV supports High-bandwidth Content Protection
(HDCP). HDCP encrypts the transmission between the video source and the digital
display for added security and protection.

output requirements of the product or consult your satellite or cable operator.
