The HDMI connector provides both a digital video
and audio connection. See the connection diagram
on
page 14
for an example.
Note:
The HDMI port on the TV must support high-
bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP).
Some HDTVs have only RGB or RGB-HV
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.
The YPbPr connectors provides high-definition
component video signals to an HDTV.
Note
: Set the HD mode and select the output video
format (480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i) on the set-top that
matches the full capabilities of your HDTV.
See the connection diagram on
page 16
for an
example.
The HDMI connector provides the connection to an
HDTV with a DVI input. If your HDTV has a Digital
Visual Interface (DVI) connector, you need an HDMI-
to-DVI adapter, and you need to connect a separate
audio connection.
Note
: The DVI port on the TV must support high-
bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP).
See the connection diagram on
page 15
for an
example.
