Connecting Satellite TV (SAT) Components

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

Hook up the video signal with either component video, S video, or composite video cords, depending on how you connected the receiver to your TV (see page 16).

For the audio signal, in order to use digital soundtracks broadcast you must hook up a digital input. Use either a coaxial or optical cable, it doesn't matter which (see pages 22–23). We recommend hooking up your audio with analog cables as well (see below).

*The arrows indicate the direction of the TV signal.
