Connecting Your Cable or Satellite Box
Using HDMI
Cable and Satellite Boxes that have a HDMI digital interface should be connected to the HDMI input of 
the LCD HDTV for optimal results. 
 
Note:
To maintain the display quality, use a VIZIO certified HDMI cable. Lengths are available up to 10
Meters. See
www.vizio.com
or call 1-888-VIZIOCE (1-888-849-4623) for details.
 
 
 
Connecting your Cable or Satellite Box (Best)
1.
Turn off the power to the LCD HDTV and HDTV Set-Top Box.
2.
Connect a HDMI cable to the HDMI output of your HDTV 
Set-Top Box and the other end to the HDMI Input at the 
side of the LCD HDTV. 
3.
Turn on the power to the LCD HDTV and HDTV Set-
Top Box. 
4.
Select HDMI using the INPUT button on 
the remote or side of the LCD HDTV, or 
directly by pressing the HDMI button on 
the Remote Control. 
Note:
• The HDMI input on the LCD TV 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 component, or you do not want to use the
HDMI1 input for the Set-Top Box, you can connect the Set-Top Box to the HDMI2, HDMI3 or 
HDMI4 input. 
• 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.
