seconds until the TV standby button remains lit, then release both buttons.
2. Point the remote control at the TV set and press and hold down the TV Standby button or the Mute button
on the remote control.

up the TV control mode. The TV standby button will go out. The TV control function is now programmed into

the same way as any other component, such as a DVD player or a VCR. In order to
view it you must select the source, or input, for that component on your television.
The most common method of connecting the set-top box to a non-HD television is with a
Composite Video cable (yellow) and two Audio cables (red & white), the Amino set-top box
has a proprietary connector on the back for Standard-def output.
In this example the cables connect from the set-top box to HDMI IN on the television. To
watch Kalona TV you would change the source (or input) on your television to HDMI.
The most common method of connecting the set-top box to an HD television is with an
HDMI cable or component cables.
To select the source or input: Although each brand of television is different, it is
common to have either a “Source” or “Input” button on either the front of the television set,
or on the remote control. Press the Source or Input button repeatedly to scroll through the
Source or Input options until you see the Kalona TV signal (regular TV programming).
In this example the cables connect from the set-top box to VIDEO 1 IN on the television.
