Your HomeDock HD is ready to use right out of the box with the included AV Cables.  

For the best high-definition performance, we recommend you connect HomeDock HD to your TV using an 
HDMI cable (available separately). If you do not have an HDMI-capable television or Home Entertainment 
Center, there are several optional ways you can connect HomeDock HD:  

Connect to your TV using S-Video or RCA connections (AV Cable included).

™

Connect to an AV receiver using S-Video, RCA, or HDMI connections.

™

Connect to your home stereo or powered speakers without using a TV. See
