Choose the best connection available. You must hookup the HD Cable box to either Component or HDMI jacks to watch HD programming in “high-def.”

An RF connection from this device to the DTV offers only basic resolution and is best reserved for an antenna to receive local HD channels.

The Component jacks (VIDEO2 and VIDEO3) have identical functions. Use either set of jacks when connecting your HD Cable box.

Refer to the user’s guide that came with your HD Cable box for available hookups and operating instructions.

Composite and S-Video connections, while possible and normally good options, are not recommended for an HD Cable Box.

These connections DO NOT support HD signals. You will not be able to watch HD programming in “high-def” through these connections. HD signals are converted to 480i analog for output via composite and S-Video jacks.

These jacks are provided for continued compatibility with your old analog devices, such as, a VCR.

1 Connect a Component cable to a set of Green, Blue, and Red video jacks on the DTV and to the HD Cable Box.

2 Connect an Audio cable to the matching set of White and Red audio jacks and to the HD Cable Box.

3 Press the INPUT key on the DTV remote to select Video 2 or Video 3 to match your connections.

4 Use the Cable Box’s remote to change channels.
