2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver
There are several ways to set up the digital receiver. Set up the
digital receiver suitably to your television and other devices.
If you have any problem with your setup or need help, contact
your dealer.

2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 11
2.4.1 Connecting to the antenna
Whatever sort of connection you have be-
tween the digital receiver and the television,
you need to connect the digital receiver to the
antenna so that it can receive digital televi-
sion broadcasts. Connect the antenna cable
to the ANT IN connector. If you have an-
other digital receiver, you may link it from
the ANT OUT connector.
NOTE
ANT OUT may also be linked to your television, VCR, or
DVD recorder to loop an analogue signal.
2.4.2 Connecting to your television set
For all the following connections of the digital receiver, we rec-
ommend you to use the rst connector to get the best picture
quality. If your television does not have a matching connector,
then use the next connector in the following order for a better
picture quality.
1. HDMI connector (HDMI)
2. Composite connector (AUDIO, VIDEO)
You should congure audio and video settings after connect-
ing up the digital receiver. See §4.1 for a detailed description.
To use the HDMI output
If you have a high denition television set,
you should use an HDMI cable for best re-
sults. Plug one end of the cable into the HDMI
socket on the digital receiver, and plug the
other end into the matching socket on your
television. In this case, you do not have to
make audio connection because it can output
stereo audio or digital audio as well.

12 Setup
To use the Composite video output
You need to obtain a Composite video cable
(RCA cable) to use the Composite video out-
put. Plug one end of the cable into the VIDEO
(yellow) socket on the digital receiver, and
plug the other end into the matching socket
on your television.
NOTE
posite video output.
To make the audio connection
You need to obtain an audio cable (RCA ca-
ble) to link the audio connectors. Plug one
ends of the cable into the AUDIO L (white)
and AUDIO R (red) sockets on the digi-
tal receiver, and plug the other ends into
the matching sockets on your television or
audio-video receiver.
To enjoy Digital audio, your television or
audio-video receiver must be able to decode
Digital audio, and you need to obtain an
S/PDIF cable.
If you want to use the COAXIAL connec-
tor, prepare a coaxial S/PDIF cable (RCA ca-
ble); otherwise to use the OPTICAL connec-
tor, prepare an optical S/PDIF cable. Plug
one end of the cable into the S/PDIF socket
on the digital receiver, and plug the other end
into the matching socket on your audio-video
receiver.
