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 33).
2 If you've already connected your TV to the TV/SAT inputs, simply choose another input. However, to receive a signal, you'll
need to press the input select button for the input you connected the set-top box to.
3 For better quality, you can also connect with S-video using the S-VIDEO TV/SAT jack. If your set-top box also has a component
video output, you can connect this too. See Using the component video jacks on page 17 for more on this.
4 If your satellite/cable receiver 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 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 Assign menu on page 63).
