the HDMI port on the back of your SHIELD. Plug the other end of the cable into
an HDMI port on your TV or receiver.

Plug one end of the power cable into the back of your SHIELD and plug the other

If you have trouble finding the correct input, check the label on your HDMI ports
on your TV or monitor.
