How to connect my HD box, recording device, and TV using HDMI cables?

 

Answer:

To connect your HD box, recording device, and TV with an HDMI cable, follow these steps:

  1. Connect one end of a coaxial (RF) cable to the wall and the other end to the CABLE IN or SATELLITE IN on your HD Box.
  2. Connect one set of composite video (yellow) and audio (red and white) cables from the video and audio AV OUT on the HD Box to the video and audio AV IN on your Recording Device.
  1. Connect a second set of composite video (yellow) and audio (red and white) cables from the video and audio AV OUT on the Recording Device to the video and audio jacks (AV) on the TV (see illustration below).

    Note: The Component and Composite connection are a shared connection. The connection jacks will be facing down on the TV.

  1. Connect the HDMI cable from the HDMI OUT on the HD Box to any HDMI input on the TV.
  2.  

  1. Use the remote of the recording device to switch the recording device's input to the AV input to which you've connected your HD box.
  2. Press the SOURCE button on the TV's remote to switch between:
    • The Recording Device (AV).
    • The HD Box (HDMI connection selected in step 4).
