Note

1 The multichannel input can only be used when DVD 5.1 ch is selected (see page 33).

2If you’ve already connected your TV to the TV/SAT inputs, simply choose another input. However, to receive a signal, you’ll need to press the input select button for the input you connected the set-top box to.

3 For better quality, you can also connect with S-video using the S-VIDEO TV/SAT jack. If your set-top box also has a component video output, you can connect this too. See Using the component video jacks on page 16 for more on this.

4 If your satellite/cable receiver doesn’t have a digital audio output, omit this step. If it only has a coaxial digital output, you can connect it to one of the coaxial inputs on this receiver using a coaxial digital audio cable. When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the set-top box to (see The Input Assign menu on page 59).
