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 theTV are required.•

If the receiver orTV 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 cord to the set-top and the AC 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 DCX set-top and the DVI input connector on the TV.

Standard-Deﬁnition TV Connect the composite video output using a composite video (RCA phono) cable.

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

DCX700 HDMI output. If the TV has a DVI input,

connect it to the DCX700 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 DCX700 IEEE-

1394 output.

If you use IEEE-1394, on-screen graphics do not

display. Otherwise, use the component video (Y, Pb,

and Pr) connectors.

L/R Audio connection or digital audio S/PDIF

connection is required for sound with DVI and

component video.

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.

Note: Because HDMI provides both video and audio output, no

additional audio connections to the TV are required.
