STEP 1
CCI140122_User_Guide 5 8/6/14 3:29 PM

On the back of the TV, look for a port labeled HDMI
NOTE: Most high-definition TVs should have this port.
TVs purchased before 2004 generally will not. If the
TV does not have an HDMI port, please turn the page.
If the TV has an HDMI port:
Connect the BLUE HDMI Cable to the port
on the back of the mini box labeled HD to TV
Connect the other end of the BLUE HDMI Cable
to the HDMI port on the back of the TV
It’s time to play detective. Does your TV have an HDMI port?
