Connecting The Equipment - Pace TDC778X Operator's Manual

CONNECTING THE EQUIPMENT

Your set-top fully complies with international DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting)
standards. In order for you to view programs broadcast in high-definition, your set-
top must be connected to a suitable HDTV or computer monitor. Your set-top is also
compatible with standard-definition TVs and VCRs.
Your equipment should have been connected up by your installer. However, if you
need to disconnect and re-connect your equipment, please read pages 10 to 14.
On pages 12 and 13 there are two typical connection set-ups for an HDTV, VCR,
DVD player and home theater receiver.
These set-ups make efficient use of the connectors on your set-top. However,
depending on your other equipment and the connectors on it, the person who
installed your system may have chosen to connect things up differently.
Both set-ups allow stereo recording and play-back of video tapes. You hear stereo
sound from the home theater's loudspeakers.
Although the RF cables (shown by dashed lines in the diagrams) are not absolutely
necessary, we recommend that you connect them as a back-up and so that you can
use the RF bypass. If you use the RF cables, you must tune our TV (and VCR) to your
set-top's VHF output channel (3 or 4: consult your cable service-provider to find
which channel it is for your location). Consult the manuals supplied with your TV and
VCR for information on how to tune.
You can take advantage of the digital audio output from your set-top by connecting a
suitable cable between your home theater receiver and the OPTICAL AUDIO OUT
jack (as shown in the diagrams) or the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack.

WARNINGS
Do not connect your set-top (or any other
equipment such as a TV or VCR) to the AC power
supply until you have properly connected all the
other cables.
Disconnect your set-top from the AC power
supply before you disconnect any other
equipment from its rear panel.
The only way to disconnect your set-top from
the AC power supply is to remove the AC power
cord (or switch the wall socket-outlet switch, if
present, to its OFF position). Your set-top must
therefore be installed near to the AC power
socket-outlet, which should be easily accessible.
The power outlet is designed only for connection
to the AC power cord for a TV. The maximum
power it can supply is 500 watts. Do not connect
any equipment that uses more than 500 watts, or
any non-TV equipment such as a toaster or hair
dryer.
The cable input is designed for connection to a
cable network only. You must not connect any
other equipment, such as a VCR, to this input.
Any cable connected to DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
must be 75 ohm coaxial, not regular audio cable.
