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 an HDMI digital interface should be connected to the HDMI input of
your HDTV for optimal results.
Note: To maintain the display quality, use a VIZIO certified HDMI cable. This cable is available in 6, 8,
and 12 foot lengths. Visit www.VIZIO.com or call 1-888-VIZIOCE (1-888-849-4623) for details.
