2. Determine if you are connecting the audio to a home theater receiver or directly to the TV:
• For an HDMI or IEEE-1394 video connection, no additional audio connections to the TV are required.
• For a DVI video connection, additional audio connections to the TV are required.
• If the receiver or TV has a digital audio (S/PDIF) input, use the Optical Audio (S/PDIF) output. Otherwise, use the left and right (RCA
phono) audio outputs.
3. Locate the cabling diagram(s) that best match the configuration.
4. Connect the audio and video cables in a manner matching that diagram.
5. Connect the Cable In terminal to the coaxial cable wall outlet.
6. Connect the power supply to the set-top and the electrical wall outlet.
7. Perform the operational check for the remote control.
8. Optimize the high-definition settings.
High-Definition TV (HDTV)
or monitor
Use the HDMI, component video (YPbPr), or IEEE-1394 outputs. No other video connection supports HDTV.
If the TV has no HDMI input but does have a DVI input, connect a DVI-to-HDMI adapter or cable to the HDMI
out connector on the set-top and the DVI input connector on the TV.
Standard-Definition TV Use the RF Out connector on the set-top, if the TV does not support S-Video or composite video connections.
The RF connection carries video and audio.
Additional information for adjusting user settings

Connecting Your Device
For the best possible HDTV video quality:
1. If the TV has an HDMI input, connect it to the set-top
HDMI output. If the TV has a DVI input, connect it
to the set-top HDMI output using an HDMI-to-DVI
converter cable or adapter.
2. If the TV has neither an HDMI nor a DVI input but has
an IEEE-1394 input, connect it to the set-top IEEE-
1394 output.
If you use IEEE-1394, on-screen graphics do not
display. Otherwise, use the component video (Y, Pb,
and Pr) connectors.
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.
L/R Audio connection or digital audio S/PDIF
connection is required for sound with component
video.
Note: Because HDMI provides both video and audio output, no
additional audio connections to the TV are required.

RNG200N Quick Start Guide
Note: If the A/V receiver
includes an HDMI input and
output, the set-top HDMI output
can be connected directly to
the A/V receiver’s input and
the A/V receiver’s HDMI output
directly to the TV. Because HDMI
provides both video and audio
output, no additional audio
connections to the A/V Receiver
and TV are required.
Note: If the A/V receiver
includes an HDMI input and
output, the set-top HDMI output
can be connected directly to
the A/V receiver’s input and
the A/V receiver’s HDMI output
directly to the TV. Because HDMI
provides both video and audio
output, no additional audio
connections to the A/V Receiver
and TV are required.
