Connecting a satellite/cable receiver or other set-top box

Satellite and cable receivers, and terrestrial digital TV
tuners are all examples of so-called 'set-top boxes'.
1 Connect a set of audio/video outputs on the set-
top box component to the SAT AUDIO and VIDEO
inputs on this receiver.
• Use a stereo RCA/phono jack audio cable for the
audio connection and a video or S-video cable for the
video connection.
2 Connect an optical digital audio output from
your set-top box component to the DIGITAL 4 (SAT)
input on this receiver.
• Use an optical cable for the connection.

• If your set-top box 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
also Assigning the digital inputs on page 90).
Note
• If your satellite/cable receiver doesn't have a digital
audio output, omit step 2 above.
