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 Use a 3-pin AV cable to connect the TV/SAT IN
jacks to a set of audio/video outputs on the set-top
box component.
This carries video and analog stereo audio signals from
the set-top box component to this receiver.
2 Use an optical digital audio cable to connect the
TV/SAT(DVD) OPT1 jack to an optical digital audio
output on the set-top box component.
This connection carries stereo and multichannel digital
audio.

you can use it. After connecting up everything else see
Coaxial input setting on page 30 for how to do this.
