Digital Cables & Connections
HDMI Jack and Cable
HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface. It offers a high-quality connection
that combines the video and audio signal into a single cable.
The HDMI jack uses HDCP content protection to allow you to view HD programming
that has been encoded using the HDCP protection system. For the best access to HD
programming at the highest available resolution, connect this to an HDTV that supports
HDCP technology.
DVI (Digital Video Interface) is an older digital connection standard that has been replaced
by HDMI and is compatible with HDMI. DVI carries video only. You can also use an
HDMI to DVI converter (not included), which also carries video only, so must be used with
audio cables to receive the audio signal.
Component Video Output (YPbPr)
The component connector provides high-quality video for your HDTV system. Component
video is also referred to as “ YPbPr.” It uses three separate cables—with connectors colored
green, red and blue—one for each component of the HD video signal.
Note that not all cables come
with your digital satellite
receiver; you may need to
purchase additional cables
depending on your setup.
HDMI cable not included.
