SET TOP BOX

Connecting Your Cable or Satellite Box

You have four options for connecting your cable or satellite box to your HDTV: HDMI, Component,
Composite, or Coax (RF). Based on your home theater configuration, you can decide which option is the
right one for you. Refer to your set-top box user manual for more information about the video output
requirements or consult your cable or satellite operator.


Using HDMI (Best)


Cable and Satellite Boxes that have a HDMI digital interface should be connected to the HDMI input of
the HDTV for optimal results.

Note:

To maintain the display quality, use a VIZIO certified HDMI cable. Cable lengths up to 10 meters

are available. See www.vizio.com or call 1-888-VIZIOCE (1-888-849-4623) for details.

1. Turn off the power to the HDTV and HDTV Set-Top Box.
2. Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI output of your HDTV Set-Top Box and the other end to the

HDMI 1 input at the rear of the HDTV.

3. Turn on the power to the HDTV and HDTV Set-Top Box.
4. Select HDMI 1 using the INPUT button on the remote or side of the HDTV, or directly by pressing

the HDMI button on the Remote Control.

Note:

! The HDMI input on the HDTV supports High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP).

HDCP encrypts the transmission between the video source and the digital display for added
security and protection.

! If you are already using the HDMI1 input for another device, or you do not want to use the HDMI1

input for the Set-Top Box, you can connect the Set-Top Box to another HDMI connection.

! Refer to your HDTV Set-Top Box user manual for more information about the video output

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