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. Length is available up to 10
meters. See www.vizio.com or call 1-888-VIZIOCE (1-888-849-4623) for details.

HDMI 1 input at the rear of the HDTV.

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

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

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