Av Connection - BEOVISION Avant Reference Book

The connections described on this
page refer to a setup where a set-top
box is connected to an Avant
containing the Set-top Box Controller
module.
It is possible to connect the set-top
box to either the DECODER or the
AV socket on BeoVision Avant.* You
can also connect two set-top boxes,
one to each socket, but only if your
Avant is not equipped with the
built-in Satellite receiver module.
You can also connect a second
set-top box to Avant via the
CamCorder socket. Please refer to
The close-up operation and socket
panels on page 56.
When you have connected your
equipment, you must check that the
setup is registered in the Connections
menu. Once the registration has
been made, you are requested to
select your specific set-top box in the
Set-top box menu. Please refer to the
chapter Register extra equipment,
page 20, for further information.
Set-top boxes must be set up in
accordance with the documentation
enclosed with them.
