Connecting Your Equipment

Satellite TV Components

Connect your satellite TV components to the jacks as shown below. Hook up the video signal with either
component video, S-video, or composite video cords (the quality descends in this order) but remember, the
video component you are watching and your TV must be hooked up with same type of video cord or you won't
be able to see the picture. For the audio signal, order to use digital soundtracks (sometimes broadcast over
digital satellite TV) you must hook up a digital input. Use either a coaxial or optical cables, it doesn't matter
which (you don't need to use both). It's also a good idea to hook up your audio with analog cables (see below).
This connection is called STEREO AUDIO OUT in the diagram.
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC
outlet.
*The arrows indicate the direction of the TV signal.
