Connecting Your Device

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.
