Unpacking HDTV Receiver and Accessories/Connection Overview

Audio/Video Jacks and Cables

The Audio/Video jacks provide excellent picture and sound quality. They are
used for making most Audio/Video connections between A/V devices. The
Audio/Video jacks may be color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio,
and white for left audio). If an A/V device has only one input for audio
(mono), connect it to the left (white L/mono) audio jack on the HDTV
Receiver.

Component Out Jacks and Cables

Component Cables are used to connect the HDTV Receiver to an industry
standard YPbPr compatible HD Monitor (green for Y, blue for Pb, and red for
Pr). Since the YPbPr Component jacks carry only the picture and not the
sound, remember to also connect the left and right audio cables.

DVI-HDTV Cable

DVI cable is used to connect the HDTV Receiver to an industry standard
DVI-HDTV compatible HD monitor. Remember to also connect the left and
right audio cables. A DVI jack carries only the video signals, not the audio.

ANT LOOP OUT Jack, and RF Cable

ANT LOOP OUT provides an RF connection between the HDTV Receiver
and the TV and provides the signal from the ANT IN jack to the TV/Monitor.

Remote Control

In addition to the HDTV Receiver, the Remote Control can be programmed
to control many other devices.

Batteries

To install the batteries, slide open the battery compartment and insert the
two AA batteries provided.

Make sure you have received all the accessories listed below with the High Definition Television Receiver.

Antenna Connections

11

Connect the “Antenna” to the “ANT IN” jack on the HDTV Receiver using a coaxial RF cable.

There might be some areas where the signal strength could be too high. If so, you may need to connect the
antenna to an attenuator. Screw the attenuator onto the “ANT IN” jack.

22

Connect the “ANT LOOP OUT” jack from the HDTV Receiver to the “Antenna In” jack on your TV using a

Before Connecting Your Antenna

During initial installation and setup of your HDTV Receiver, you may need to install a 10 dB attenuator to the
Antenna input “ANT IN” on the LST-4200A. The LST-4200A is a high performance, high-gain system intended for
operation under normal and weak signal conditions, providing the best reception with its optimum gain. However,
there might be some reception areas where the signal strength is too high (e.g. due to close proximity to an unde­sirable signal or transmitter), so you need an attenuator that lowers the incoming signal strength (from the undesir­able transmitter) to more normal levels.This 10 dB attenuator should be used only in a reception area where the
undesired signal strength is too high.

All Block: All programs with a rating are blocked.
G (General Audiences): Content is not offensive to most viewers.

This is a film which contains nothing in theme, language, nudity and
sex, violence, etc. which would be offensive to parents whose younger
children view the film. The G rating is not a “certificate of approval,” nor
does it signify a children’s film.
Some snippets of language may go beyond polite conversation but
they are common everyday expressions. No stronger words are pres­ent in G-rated films. The violence is at a minimum. Nudity and sex
scenes are not present; nor is there any drug use content.

PG: “Parental Guidance Suggested. Some Material May Not Be Suitable

For Children.”
The PG rating, suggesting parental guidance, is an alert for examina­tion of a film by parents before deciding on its viewing by their chil­dren. This is a film which clearly needs to be examined or inquired into
by parents before they let their children see it. The label PG plainly
states that parents may consider some material unsuitable for their
children, but the parent must make the decision. Parents are warned
against allowing their children to see PG-rated movies.The theme of a
PG-rated film may itself call for parental guidance. There may be some
profanity in these films. There may be some violence or brief nudity.
But these elements are not deemed so intense as to require that par­ents be strongly cautioned beyond the suggestion of parental guid­ance. There is no drug use content in a PG-rated film.

PG-13: PG-13 Parents Strongly Cautioned. Some Material May Be
Inappropriate For Children Under 13.

PG-13 is a sterner warning to parents to determine for themselves the
attendance in particular of their younger children as they might consid­er some material not suited for them. Parents, by the rating, are alert­ed to be very careful about viewing by their under-teenage children.

A PG-13 film is one which leaps beyond the boundaries of the PG rat­ing in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, or other contents,
but does not quite fit within the restricted R category. Any drug use
content will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. In effect, the PG-13
cautions parents with more stringency than usual to give special atten­tion to this film before they allow their 12-year olds and younger to see
it.

PG-13 places larger responsibilities on parents for their children’s
movie viewing. The rating system is not a surrogate parent, nor should
it be. It cannot, and should not, insert itself in family decisions that only
parents can, and should, make. Its purpose is to give prescreening
advance informational warnings, so that parents can form their own
judgments. PG-13 is designed to make these parental decisions easier
for films between PG and R.

R (Restricted viewing): Not for children under age 17. Strong elements

of sex and/or violence.
Requires Accompanying Parent Or Adult Guardian.The film definitely

contains some adult material. Parents are strongly urged to find out
more about the film before they allow their children to see it.

An R-rated film may include hard language, or tough violence, or nudi­ty within sensual scenes, or drug abuse or other elements, or a combi­nation of some of the above, so that parents are counseled, in
advance, to take this advisory rating very seriously. Parents must find
out more about an R-rated movie before they allow their teenagers to
view it.

NC-17 (Restricted Viewing): Not for children under age 17 under any

circumstances. Strong sexual content.
This rating declares that this is a film that most parents will consider

patently too adult for their youngsters under 17. No children should
see the film. NC-17 does not necessarily mean “obscene or porno­graphic” in the oft-accepted or legal meaning of those words.The rea­sons for the application of an NC-17 rating can be violence or sex or
aberrational behavior or drug abuse or any other elements which,
when present, most parents would consider too strong and therefore
off-limits for viewing by their children.

X (Hard Core Films): Same as NC-17 rating.

This program is designed to be appropriate for all children. Whether

from ages 2 - 6. This program is not expected to frighten younger chil­dren.

TV-Y7: Directed toward children age 7 and older.

This program is designed for children age 7 and older. It may be
more appropriate for children who have acquired the developmental
skills needed to distinguish between make-believe and reality. Themes
and elements in this program may include mild fantasy
violence or comedic violence, or may frighten children under the age
of 7. Therefore, parents may wish to consider the suitability of this pro­gram for their very young children.

programs will be designated TV-Y7-FV.

one at-a-time. If the right code is found, the device will turn off.
Second, enter the code number using the number buttons on the
Remote Control. The right code numbers for the corresponding device
can be found on the following pages. If the code is correct, the device
will turn off.

55

Press the EXIT button to store the programming code.
