Connecting a satellite receiver or other digital set-top box

Satellite and cable receivers, and terrestrial digital TV tuners are all examples of so-called ‘set-top boxes’.

1Connect a set of audio/video outputs on

the set-top box component to the TV/SAT AUDIO and VIDEO inputs on this receiver.2 Use a stereo RCA phono cable for the audio

connection and a standard RCA video cable for the video connection.3

2If your set-top box has a digital output, connect it to a digital input on this receiver.

The example shows an optical connection to the DIGITAL OPT 1 (CD) input.4

Note

1The multichannel input can only be used when DVD 5.1ch is selected (see page 30).

2If you’ve already connected your TV to the TV/SAT inputs, simply choose another input. However, you’ll need to remember which input you connected the set-top box to.

3See Using the component video jacks on page 13 if your set-top box also has a component video output.

4In this case, you’ll need to tell the receiver which digital input you connected the set-top box to (see The Input Assign menu on page 33).
