HOOK UP THE CABLES
Congratulations on buying your Vulkano. We will take you through a few simple steps to get you
up and running. You can also setup your Vulkano from your PC. If you cannot set up your
Vulkano through your TV, please refer to the Vulkano Setup For PC/Mac section on page 36.
CONNECT VULKANO TO YOUR STB
Your STB has output connectors on the back for Component setup, Composite setup or both. If
you have both, use the Component setup for better video quality. You will need a STB to use
Vulkano.
Connect the cables from your STB output connectors to your Vulkano’s input connectors as
shown below. For the Component setup option, you will use two sets of cables. For the
Composite option, you will only use one set.
Suggestion: Be sure to write down your STB brand and model number. You will need it later in
the setup process.

CONNECT VULKANO TO YOUR TV
This step assumes that your STB was previously connected to your TV. You will re-use your
existing cables. For the setup process, it is not mandatory to connect your Vulkano output to a
TV. Your TV has audio and video input connectors for Component setup, Composite setup or
both. Make sure you use the same cable types, either Component or Composite, for this
connection as used in the previous section.
Connect the cables from your Vulkano output connectors to your TV’s input connectors, as
shown below. For the Component setup option, you will use two sets of cables. For the
Composite option, you will only use one set.
If your TV has an HDMI input connector, use the HDMI setup option for better audio and video
quality.
