Connecting a satellite receiver or other digital set-top box

Satellite and cable receivers, and terrestrial

digital TV tuners are all examples of so-calledSTB ‘set-top boxes’.

Note

1The multichannel input can only be used when DVD 5.1 ch is selected (see page 26).

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 12 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 TV to (see The Input Assign menu on page 29).
