Connect the cable box to your Vizio with just a single cable.

Cable boxes transform the signal from your Cable TV service so it can be displayed on your Vizio TV's screen. Use an HDMI cable to make the connection between the two devices, as the interface can carry both audio and video signals in a single wire. HDMI also supports high-definition signals so you can rest assured, knowing your Vizio is receiving the best possible picture and sound.
