Connections for a High-De nition TV (HDTV)
To use the receiver with an HDTV, you must make one of the following connections to view the HD
content. Refer to the owner’s manual for your TV and the cabling diagrams in this manual for more
detailed connection information.
Although all connections provide you with quality service, we list the connections in our
recommended order.
Notes:
• The labeling on your receiver or HDTV may vary slightly from the illustrations shown below.
• Some cables shown in the connection diagrams may not be included with this receiver.
• Set the HD mode and select the output video format (480i, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p) on the receiver
using the instructions provided in the Feature Guide available for download at: uverse.att.com/support
Some HDTVs have a High-De nition Multimedia
Interface (HDMI) connector. The HDMI connector
provides both a digital video and audio connection.
See the connection diagram on page 16 for an
example.
Note: The HDMI port on the TV must support
high-bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP).

Connections
The HDMI connector can provide the connection
to an HDTV with a DVI input. If your HDTV has a
Digital Visual Interface (DVI) connector, you need
an HDMI-to-DVI adapter, and a separate audio
connection (either L/R or optical audio).
Note: The DVI port on the TV must support
high-bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP).
See the connection diagram on page 17 for an
example.
