Connecting a satellite/cable receiver or other 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.

•Use a stereo RCA phono cable for the audio connection and a standard RCA video or S-video cable for the video connection.

•See About the video converter on page 16 if you plan to use a different type of video cable than you used to connect your TV.

2Connect an optical digital audio output from your set-top box component to the DIGITAL 1 (TV/ SAT) input on this receiver.

•Use an optical cable for the connection.

•If your set-top box 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 Assigning the digital inputs on page 81).

Note

•If your satellite/cable receiver doesn’t have a digital audio output, omit step 2 above.

•If you’ve already connected your TV to the TV/SAT inputs above, simply choose another input. However, you’ll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the set-top box to (see Assigning the digital inputs on page 81).
