Connecting to equipments

How to get good reception

• In general you are not required to change the existing antenna. However if your antenna
is not in good condition you should consider replacing them to ensure uninterrupted digital
television viewing.

• Viewers in areas of poor analog reception may need specialists’ advice about antenna
requirements for digital reception in their area.

• It’s recommended that viewers use quad shielded cable from the antenna to the
television.

Connections to a TV

There are several ways of connecting your STB receiver to the TV and Hi-Fi System. For
high definition viewing your TV must support either 576p, 720p, 1080i resolution. Also the
connection between the STB receiver and TV must be YPbPr component, VGA, or HDMI.
Other connection will provide standard definition viewing.

Warning

Please switch OFF the mains power before plugging or unplugging connection cables,
otherwise, it may damage this receiver!

Connect the STB receiver via Video/S-Video and Audio
(for standard definition viewing)
