3 CONNECTING YOUR DCX SET-TOP • HDMI or IEEE-1394 — HDTV and SDTV HDMI and IEEE-1394 offer higher quality HD video than component video. If your TV has an HDMI input, this is for both audio and video. Connect a Standard HDMI cable to the TV and to the HDMI connector on your DCX set-top. HDMI and IEEE-1394 outputs provide video and audio, so no separate audio connections are required if you plan to use your TV’s speakers as the primary audio source.
3 CONNECTING YOUR DCX SET-TOP • Composite Video (also referred to as Video) — SDTV If an S-Video input is not available on your TV, use the composite video (video) connection. Note: Composite video does not provide audio. A separate audio connection must be made. • RF Output — SDTV If no other input is available on your TV, the RF Output of the DCX3200 can be connected to the Antenna or Cable Input on your TV. The RF Output carries both video and audio. Set your TV to channel 3 or 4.
