Connecting an HDTV — Separate Video/Audio Connections
Cable In
Connect an RF coaxial cable to the cable wall outlet and the cable in connector on the DCX set-top.
DVI
If the TV has a DVI input, use the DVI connection for the video:
• Connect a HDMI-to-DVI adapter or cable to the HDMI out connector on the DCX set-top and the DVI
HDTV connector on the TV.
Note: A DVI connection supports only the video connection between the DCX set-top and the HDTV. To
connect your audio connections with your TV speakers, go to the Audio section below. To connect the audio
connections for an A/V receiver, go to Connecting an A/V Receiver — Audio.
Component Video (YPbPr)
Connect the component video cables to the Y, Pb, and Pr connectors on the HDTV and DCX set-top.
Note: This connection supports only the High Definition video connection between the DCX set-top and the
HDTV. Be sure to match up each signal to the same connection on the TV, otherwise the colors will not appear
correctly on the TV.
Note: To connect your audio connections with your TV speakers, go to the Audio section below.
Audio
If the TV does not have digital audio inputs:
• Connect the stereo audio cable to the audio l and r connectors on the DCX3520e-M Series set-top
and the audio left and audio right connectors on the HDTV.
If the TV supports a digital audio input:
• If the equipment supports it, use the digital audio optical S/PDIF output instead of the audio l and r
outputs. S/PDIF offers better audio quality, including support for Dolby® Digital audio.
