- After obtaining your HDMI cable, you will need to connect one end of the HDMI cable to the back of your Cox High Definition receiver in the slot marked “HDMI.”

- Now that your HDMI cable is connected to your Cox High Definition receiver and your television, plug the power cable into the back of your Cox receiver. Please allow three to five minutes for the time to appear on the front of the equipment. This will let you know your receiver is ready to be powered on.
- Finally, change your television’s video input to HDMI. Please consult your television’s owner manual for additional assistance.
