Adapter Needed
Some HDTVs have a High-Defi nition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
connector. The HDMI connector provides both a digital video and
audio connection.
See the connection diagram on page 11 for an example.
The YPbPr connectors can provide high-defi nition component
video signals to an HDTV.
Note: Use the HD Setup Wizard on the set-top to set the HD
mode and select the output video format that will matches the
full capabilities of your HDTV.
See the connection diagram on page 13 for an example.
The HDMI connector can provide the connection to an HDTV
with a DVI input. If your HDTV has a Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
connector, you will need an HDMI-to-DVI adapter, and you will
need to connect a separate audio connection.
See the connection diagram on page 12 for an example.
Some HDTVs have only RGB connectors. If you have one of
these HDTVs, you need an RGB adapter.
Check with your service provider for information about acquiring
an RGB adapter, or you can purchase the adapter at your local
electronics supplier.
