∫ Should I use the AUDIO/VIDEO OUT terminal or
the RF OUT terminal?
If your cable TV box has both AUDIO/VIDEO OUT terminals and
RF OUT terminals, we recommend connecting the AUDIO/VIDEO
OUT terminal with the unit's IN3 (L3) terminal. Using this
connection provides better picture quality.
≥The S-VIDEO terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the
VIDEO terminal.
Setting the IR Blaster

∫ Why should I connect the IR Blaster?
The IR Blaster is a device that allows this unit to communicate with
the cable TV box. It acts like a remote control for the cable TV box.
If you connect a cable TV box to this unit, you also need to attach
the IR Blaster so this unit can control the channels on the cable TV
box.
X e.g. Television stand surface
Y If you peel off the adhesive tape, the surface may become
damaged.
Once you have confirmed the cable TV box is operating
correctly, secure it by attaching the adhesive tape.
