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 5.1ch is selected (see page 30).
2 If you've already connected your TV to the TV/SAT inputs, simply choose another input. However, you'll need to remember
which input you connected the set-top box to.
3 See Using the component video jacks on page 13 if your set-top box also has a component video output.
4 In this case, you'll need to tell the receiver which digital input you connected the set-top box to (see The Input Assign menu on
page 33).
