Hook up your Emerson TV to your cable set-top box to begin enjoying your cable programming. The cable box transforms the signal from your cable service so it can be displayed on the screen of your TV. Use an HDMI cable to make the connection between the two devices. The HDMI cable transfers both sound and picture so you won't have to deal with a tangle of wires behind your new TV.
