Connecting a satellite receiver or other digital 
set-top box

Satellite and cable receivers, and terrestrial digital TV tuners 

are all examples of so-called ‘set-top boxes’.

• If the set-top box or video component also has an HDMI 

output, you can connect this too. See 

Connecting using 

HDMI

 on page 14 for more on this.

Note

• In order to listen to the audio from the source component 

that is connected to this receiver using a coaxial cable or 

an optical cable, first, switch to the 

CD/SAT

, then press 

SIGNAL SEL

 to choose the audio signal 

C1

 (COAXIAL1) or 

O1

 (OPTICAL1) (see 

Selecting the audio input signal

 on 

page 17).

Connecting other audio components

The number and kind of connections depends on the kind of 

component you’re connecting. Follow the steps below to 

connect a CD-R, MD, DAT, tape recorder or other audio 

component.

• Note that you must connect digital components to analog 

audio jacks if you want to record to/from digital 

components (like an MD) to/from analog components.

Note

• In order to listen to the audio from the CD player that is 

connected to this receiver using an optical cable, first, 

switch to the 

CD-R

 input, then press 

SIGNAL SEL

 to 

choose the audio signal 

O1

 (OPTICAL1) (see 

Selecting the 

audio input signal

 on page 17).

Connecting antennas

Connect the AM loop antenna and the FM wire antenna as 

shown below. To improve reception and sound quality, 

connect external antennas (see 

Using external antennas

 on 

page 16). 

1

Push open the tabs, then insert one wire fully into each 

terminal, then release the tabs to secure the AM antenna 
wires.

2

Fix the AM loop antenna to the attached stand.

To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the direction 

indicated by the arrow (fig. a) then clip the loop onto the 

stand (fig. b).

3

Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and in a direction 

giving the best reception.

4

Connect the FM wire antenna into the FM antenna 

socket.

For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a wall 

or door frame. Don’t drape loosely or leave coiled up.
