2.3 - Connecting Your HDTV Set-Top Box
You have several options for connecting your HDTV Set-Top Box to your new P50 HDM plasma
monitor: HDMI™ (Digital HD) and RGB inputs. Based on your home theater configuration, you
can decide which option is the right one for you.
2.3.1 - Using HDMI™ (Digital HD)
Digital Set-Top boxes that have a digital interface such as HDMI™ (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface) should be connected to the HDMI™ input of the VIZIO P50 HDM plasma monitor for
optimal results.
Installation:
1. Turn off the power to the plasma monitor and HDTV Set-Top Box.
2. Connect a HDMI™ cable to the HDMI™ output of your HDTV Set-Top Box and the other
end to the HDMI™ input (white color band) in the rear of your plasma monitor.
3. Connect the Audio Out on your HDTV Set-Top Box to the Audio within the Digital HD1
group (white color band) on your plasma monitor (please see note below).
4. Turn on the power to the plasma monitor and your HDTV Set-Top Box.
5. Select Digital HD1 using the INPUT button on the side of the plasma monitor, or the
“Digital HD” or “Input” button on the remote control.
For additional information to use your satellite or cable box remote, please see 3.7.5 – Using
Cable Box or Satellite Box Remote, page 36.
Note:
a) If you need to connect a DVI device to your P50HDM monitor, we recommend using
an HDMI™-DVI cable (contact VIZIO for these cables). We suggest you don’t use an
HDMI™/DVI adapter since it may physically block the adjacent audio inputs.
b) The HDMI™ input on your plasma monitor supports High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection (HDCP). HDCP encrypts the transmission between the video source and
the digital display for added security and protection.
c) If you are already using the Digital HD1 input for another component, or you do not
want to use the Digital HD1 input for the HDTV Set-Top Box, you can connect the
HDTV Set-Top Box to the Digital HD2 connections coded by the white color band.
d) Refer to your HDTV Set-Top Box user manual for more information about the video
output requirements of the product or consult your satellite or cable operator.
Note: To maintain the display quality, use a VIZIO certified HDMI™ cable that is 10 meters or
less. See www.vizioce.com
for details.
