Cable connections for watching digital
and/or conventional TV channels
This system is equipped with two terminals for inputting TV
broadcasting signals: ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN. The
ANT/CABLE A IN terminal accepts both digital and
conventional TV broadcasting signals while the ANT B IN
terminal accepts only conventional TV broadcasting signals.
When using cable TV to watch digital and/or conventional TV
channels, connect to the ANT/CABLE A IN terminal as shown.
In addition, you may connect an antenna to the ANT B IN
terminal as shown; use an outdoor antenna to enjoy clearer
pictures. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable
with an F-type connector, plug it into the antenna terminal at
the rear of the Media Receiver.
Connecting VHF/UHF antennas and a Cable
NOTE
• Be sure to connect coaxial cables as shown above. Signal
reception may fail if not properly connected.
• In order to watch cable TV channels, be sure to connect the
cable to the ANT/CABLE A IN terminal.
• The ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN terminals must not
receive the same signals. For example, do not connect a
cable from a cable TV to both the ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT
B IN terminals. Similarly, do not connect a cable from an
antenna to both the ANT/CABLE A IN and ANT B IN
terminals.
Connecting a Cable box
Use the INPUT 1 terminals to connect a Cable box.
NOTE
• You can also connect to the INPUT 1 S-VIDEO terminal
instead of the INPUT 1 VIDEO terminal; use a commercially
available S-Video cable.
• If using a Cable box that supports digital TV channels and
has an RF output terminal, you can connect that terminal to
the ANT/CABLE A IN terminal using a commercially
available coaxial cable.
• When connecting a Cable box to the INPUT 1 terminal, be
careful not to loop the cable.
