Audio/Video Cables Make the Best Connection! The cables you use to connect cable to your home entertainment equipment could be as simple as a single line to your television, or as complicated as a multiple component home theater. Your equipment will only work when using the right cables for the job, and you should know how you are hooking up your components.
Basic Cable Wave Basic Cable is simple to install. You don’t need any additional devices, and you can connect to any cable-ready TV in your home—provided you have activated your Wave cable service. To connect to Wave cable, you simply run a coaxial cable from your wall mounted cable outlet to your cable-ready television set or to your VCR.
High definition television (HDTV) combines extremely high resolution video with Dolby Digital Surround Sound to provide an ultra-sharp viewing experience. Wave provides an enormous amount of HD content, from traditional HD channels to HD On Demand programming available at the push of a button, plus, we’re always adding more.
The DVR DCT is installed in the same manner as a regular DCT, depending on the equipment in your home. Most Wave DVRs are capable of HD service. How you choose to have it connected to your TV or home theater will depend on what services you have from Wave and what your equipment will support.
Wiring Diagrams The diagrams on the following pages will help you understand the various ways in which you can connect a DCT to your television and other home electronic equipment.
