How to Connect
Refer to the diagram on page 8 for the location of the sockets identified by numbers in the
following procedures.
Step 1: Connect to the antenna
Connect the antenna lead coming from your antenna wall plate to the ANT IN socket on the
(socket 1).
Step 2: Choose an installation method
There are a number of methods of connecting the , depending on your preference and
the connection types on your TV. These methods are labelled A, B and C below.
TIP: The various video connection options available provide differing degrees of video
quality. In ascending order of quality, these connections are Composite (good),
Component (better) and HDMI (best).
A: High Definition Multimedia Interface
If your TV has a HDMI socket, connect an HDMI cable between the HDMI socket on the
(socket 8) and the HDMI socket on your TV.
A HDMI connection incorporates video and audio. You do not need to make separate connections for
audio.
An HDMI cable is not provided with the .
B: Y/Pb/Pr (Component) using the supplied RCA blue–red–green lead
For Component video, connect to your TV with the supplied Y/Pb/Pr Component cable (with blue, red
and green leads). Connect the leads between the Y, Pb and Pr sockets on the (socket
group 4, taking care to match the colour of a lead with the colour of the socket), and the
corresponding Component sockets on your TV. (The Component sockets on the TV have the same
colour-coding.)
You will need to make separate connections for left and right audio via the audio sockets 5 and 6.
This can be done using the supplied RCA cable. (Match the colour of the plugs with the colour of
the sockets.)

12
C: CVBS (Composite) using the supplied RCA red–white–yellow lead
Using the appropriate socket colour-coding on sockets 3, 5 and 6, you can connect to your TV with
the supplied RCA cable. This gives you CVBS (Composite Video) and MPEG-2 stereo audio.
For video, connect the yellow RCA lead between the yellow video socket (socket 3) on the
and the corresponding socket on your TV.
For left audio, connect the white RCA lead between socket 5 on the and the
corresponding socket on your TV.
For right audio, connect the red RCA lead between socket in socket 6 on the and the
corresponding socket on your TV.
Step 3: Optional connections
Dolby Digital
Dolby digital bitstream audio S/PDIF can be achieved using a fibre optic cable. (This cable is not
supplied.) The cable should be connected between socket 7 on the and the S/PDIF
socket on your Dolby Digital decoder amplifier. See “Audio–Video settings” on page 41 for
instructions on how to choose Dolby audio.
Looping Out (for VCR recording)
In order to watch one channel while recording another on a VCR, connect an RF cable (not
supplied) between the RF OUT socket on the (socket 2) and the RF IN socket on your
VCR. Note that VCR recordings are only analogue, not digital.
