HOOK UP THE CABLES
CONNECT YOUR SET TOP BOX (STB) TO VULKANO
When connecting Vulkano to your STB (Satellite or Cable), you can either connect using
Component or Composite video outputs located on the back of the STB. If your STB has both,
use Component for better video quality. Connect the STB video and audio outputs to the video
and audio inputs on the back of the Vulkano. Connect your Vulkano to your STB as shown in the
Component or Composite diagram.
CONNECT VULKANO TO YOUR TV
Connect either the Component or HDMI output cables from the back of the Vulkano to the
video inputs on your TV. If you use Component cables, you will also need to connect the
Composite audio (white and red) cable from the Vulkano output to the TV audio input. If your
TV supports both Component and HDMI input, use HDMI for better video quality. Connect your
Vulkano to your TV as shown in the HDMI or Component diagram.
