STEP 1 Connection

Make sure to use the pair of supplied RF coaxial cables

Use the pair of supplied RF coaxial cables only when you make connections to the unit through its RF IN and RF OUT terminals. Striping may appear and disrupt images on the TV if you use different cables for connection.

Before connection, turn off all equipment and read the appropriate operating instructions.

Select the connection pattern that matches your environment from pattern A–B. Confirm connections not listed below with your dealer.
