Connecting HDTV — Separate Video/Audio Connections
Cable In
Connect an RF coaxial cable to the cable wall outlet and the
CABLE IN
connector on the
DCX set-top and then choose one of the following:
DVI
If your TV has a DVI input, use the DVI connection for your video, connect a HDMI-to-DVI
adapter or cable to the HDMI out connector on the DCX set-top and the
DVI-HDTV
connector on your TV.
Note: A DVI connection supports only the video connection between the DCX set-top
and the HDTV.
To connect your audio connections with your TV speakers, go to Audio on the next page.
To connect your audio connections for an A/V receiver, go to Connecting an A/V Receiver
— Audio.
Component Video (YPbPr)
Connect the component video cables to the Y, Pb, and Pr connectors on your HDTV and
DCX set-top.
Note: This connection only supports the video connection between the DCX set-top and
the HDTV.
Note: Be sure to match up each signal to the same connection on the TV, otherwise the
colors will not appear correctly on your TV.

Audio
If your TV does not have digital audio inputs, connect the stereo audio cable to the
AUDIO
L/R
connectors on the DCX700 set-top and the
AUDIO L/R
connectors on the HDTV.
If your TV supports digital audio inputs, use the digital audio
OPTICAL S/PDIF
output
instead of the
AUDIO L/R
outputs. S/PDIF offers better audio quality, including support
for Dolby
®
Digital audio.
