Connecting Your Cable or Satellite Box
Using HDMI (Best)
Cable and Satellite Boxes that have a HDMI digital interface should be connected using HDMI for optimal
results. To maintain image quality, use a VIZIO certified HDMI cable. This cable is available in 6, 15, and
30 foot lengths. Visit www.VIZIO.com or call 877-MYVIZIO (877-698-4946) for details.
1. Turn off your HDTV and Cable/Satellite box.
2. Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI output of your Cable/Satellite box and the other end to the
HDMI 1, 2, 3, or HDMI SIDE jack on your HDTV.
3. Turn on the power to your HDTV and your Cable/Satellite box.
4. Select
HDMI-1, HDMI-2, HDMI-3, or HDMI SIDE using the INPUT button on the remote control or

Note:
• The HDMI input on your HDTV supports High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP).
HDCP encrypts the transmission between the video source and the digital display for added
security and protection.

output requirements of the product or consult your Cable or Satellite operator.
