2See The Input Setup menu on page 64 to assign the S-VIDEO 2 input to the TV/SAT input function if you make this connection.

3If 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 The Input Setup menu on page 64).

4If your satellite/cable receiver doesn’t have a digital audio output, you can skip this step.
