Notes:
•The output channel number for most cable boxes and DSS receivers is usu- ally 3 or 4. Check the owner’s manual for your cable box or DSS receiver if you are not sure what the output channel number is.
•If you are using the audio/video jack connections to your cable box or DSS receiver, select VIDEO OUT as the out- put channel.
