Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC wall outlet.

Connecting a Digital Tuner/Set Top Box

If you have an external digital tuner (like a set top box for satellite or cable TV) you need to connect it to either the optical digital terminals or the coaxial digital terminal in order to play digital cable/satellite broadcasting. The quality of these two types of connection is the same so it’s simply a matter of matching like with like. It is easiest, however, if you follow this receiver’s default settings and connect your cable/satellite tuner (or TV/SAT as it’s called on the remote control) to optical terminal 1. If your TV/SAT does not have an optical terminal, use the coaxial terminal to hook it up (consult the DVD hook up information on the previous page). In this case you need to assign the TV/SAT function to that terminal. See p.33 in order to do this. Follow the diagram below to hook up your TV/SAT to either the optical or coaxial terminal.

Make sure you use a digital connection as well as an analog one for the audio on the cable/satellite tuner, as pictured below.

The basic default settings for the DIGITAL IN terminals are as follows: COAX: DVD; OPT. 1: TV/SAT; OPT. 2: DVR. If you need to use the coaxial terminal for your TV/SAT, then assign the coaxial terminal to TV/SAT. The digital termi- nals settings change to: COAX: TV/SAT; OPT. 1: DVD; OPT. 2: DVR. (see p.33)

Why you need an analog connection as well as a

digital one:

 

 

• If you don’t have an digital output on your TV tuner

 

you will need to use an analog connection.

 

• If the program you want to watch isn’t output from

 

the digital terminals you need an analog connection.

 

• If you want to get a signal from a video deck instead

 

of a TV tuner you need an analog connection.
