Make one of the following connections to your home network:
• If your home network uses coaxial cable, use the TO WALL connector
on the set-top.
• If your home network uses twisted pair cable (phone line wiring), use
the TO WALL connector on the set-top and an adapter that converts
twisted pair to coaxial cable.
• If your home network uses Ethernet (CAT-5) cable, use the NETWORK
connector on the set-top.
Note
:
See page 10
for examples.
Because the connections
for a high-defi nition (HD)
or standard-defi nition (SD)
TV are different, you must
determine if your TV is
HD or SD. Your TV must
receive HD signals for you to enjoy the benefi ts of HDTV. Refer to the
manual that came with your TV for more information.
