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'.
Note
1 The multichannel input can only be used when DVD 5.1 ch is selected (see page 36).
2 If you've already connected your TV to the TV/SAT inputs, simply choose another input. However, you'll need to tell the receiver
which input you connected the set-top box to (for the VSX-415 see Digital input settings on page 40 and for the VSX-515 see The
Input Assign menu on page 44).
3 VSX-515 model only – See Using the component video jacks on page 16 if your set-top box also has a component video output.
4 If your set-top box doesn't have a digital audio output, omit this step. If it only has a coaxial digital output, you can connect it
to one of the coaxial inputs on this receiver, but you'll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the set-top box to (for
the VSX-415 see Digital input settings on page 40 and for the VSX-515 see The Input Assign menu on page 44).
