6. Antenna (ANT-1 MAIN, ANT-2 AUX)
ANT-1 MAIN and ANT-2 AUX can each receive both
digital and analog over-the-air channels from a VHF/UHF
antenna or non-scrambled digital/analog cable channels.
Your primary viewing signal source should be connected
to ANT-1 MAIN. ANT-1 MAIN must be used to view
premium subscription cable TV service authorized
by the CableCARD™ access card. The CableCARD
access card is provided by your local cable company.
ANT-2 AUX can continue to receive over-the-air or non-
scrambled cable signals.
7. Audio Line Out
These analog L/R audio output terminals provide an
additional
other audio device.
NOTE: For the best audio quality, use the Digital Audio
Out terminal if supported by your A/V receiver. For
analog audio, it is generally preferable to connect directly
to the A/V receiver from the cable box, statellite receiver,
DVD player, etc.
8. CableCARD™ Slot
The CableCARD access card provided by your cable TV
service provider is inserted into this slot. The top of the
card should face upwards.
NOTE: If you are using a CableCARD, be sure to connect
the cable from the cable wall outlet to ANT-1 MAIN on
the media center.
option for connecting to an A/V Receiver or
Some digital cable channels send MPEG-1 digital audio
instead of Dolby Digital, however, not all A/V receivers
can decode MPEG-1 digital audio. This can cause
the A/V receivers to produce a loud noise that can
damage speakers. For this reason, the media center
will automatically turn off the digital audio output when
tuned to a channel or device that has MPEG-1 digital
audio and send it to the A/V receiver as analog left and
right audio from Monitor Output.
10. Monitor Output
Use this Composite video and analog audio outputs
under the following circumstances:
• Output to VCR for recording, or other A/V device.
• Output to an auxilliary monitor.
11. IEEE 1394
These terminals allow the media center to connect
to external IEEE 1394 digital products by means of
a single cable. Two terminals are provided for this
purpose, which allow for a high degree of flexibility
for connecting your NetCommand controlled system.
Detailed information regarding IEEE 1394 connection
requirements are in Chapter 4.
12. AC Power Input
CableCARD is a nationwide standard system that allows
your local cable TV provider to supply you with an
access card customized to your account. This card
allows the HDTV (display + media center) to receive,
decode and unscramble the premium digital channels
included in your cable TV subscription without the use
of a cable box. See page 23 for additional CableCARD
information and activation instructions.
If your cable company is not currently offering
CableCARD access cards, you will need to use a
cable box provided and authorized by your local cable
company to view scrambled channels.
9. Digital Audio Output
This output will automatically send Dolby® Digital audio
from digital channels and IEEE 1394 devices to a digital
Audio/Video receiver. Connect this output to the A/V
receiver’s coaxial digital audio input. The output will
automatically turn off when viewing an analog channel
or device. Use Audio Line Out to send analog sound to
your A/V receiver.

External Devices and NetCommand
NetCommand is able to control many current audio and
video devices by sending remote control signals from
the media center to each device through IR emitters.
Additionally, it is also able to learn the remote control
signals used by most audio video devices not already
in the media center’s memory. NetCommand can
automatically switch to compatible Audio/Video (A/V)
devices or those that have or “learned” NetCommand
settings. It is important that the inputs on the
media center and A/V receiver rear panels match the
NetCommand setup that is displayed on screen.

About CableCARD™ Technology
CableCARD is a nationwide system standard that allows
your local cable TV provider to supply you with an access
card customized to your account. This card allows your
media center to receive, decode and unscramble the
premium digital channels included in your cable TV
subscription, without the use of a cable box. It also
allows your cable provider to automatically update and
change your subscription. When you move to a new
cable provider’s area, you simply return the CableCARD
to the original cable provider and get a new card from
your new cable provider.
Please note that CableCARD is a new technology and
your local cable provider may not currently be offering
this service. As time passes, this system will become
broadly supported by most cable providers.
The CableCARD system is “unidirectional” which means
your cable provider can send updates to the access card
and media center, however, the media center cannot send
back signals such as requests for Video-On-Demand or
Pay-per-View by remote control.
Digital cable channels authorized by the CableCARD
will be available on the Firewire® IEEE 1394 network
and can be shared by other products on the network.
Some digital channels or programs may not be copied
or recorded because of copy restriction limits set by the
content owners or copyright holders.
The media center is capable of receiving analog basic,
digital basic and digital premium cable television
programming by direct connection to a cable system
providing such programming. A security card
(CableCARD) provided by your cable operator is
required to view encrypted digital programming. Certain
advanced and interactive digital cable services such as
video-on-demand, a cable operator’s enhanced program
guide and data-enhanced television services may require
the use of a set-top box. For more information call your
local cable operator.

Chapter 2: Connecting
Antenna or Wall Outlet Cable to a VCR
Figure 8
A two-way RF splitter, 3 coaxial cables, right and left audio cables and a S-Video or (Composite) Video cables are required. These
are not included with the media center.
1. Connect the incoming cable or Antenna to IN on the RF splitter.
2. Connect one coaxial cable from OUT on the RF splitter to ANTENNA IN on the VCR rear panel.
3. Connect one coaxial cable from OUT on the RF splitter to ANT-1 MAIN on the media center rear panel.
4. To use the display’s internal speakers with the VCR, connect a Left/Right set of audio cables from AUDIO OUT on
the VCR rear panel to INPUT-1 AUDIO-LEFT (MONO) and AUDIO-RIGHT on the media center rear panel. The red
cable connects to the R (right) channel and the white cable connects to the L (left) channel. If your VCR is mono
(non-stereo), connect only the white (left) cable.
5. Connect either an S-Video or Video cable from VIDEO OUT on the VCR rear panel to INPUT-1 VIDEO on the media
center rear panel. Only one type of video cable should be connected. S-Video is recommended, if available.
6. For NetCommand® controlled recordings, connect a set of audio cables from AUDIO IN on the VCR rear panel
to MONITOR OUTPUT AUDIO-LEFT (MONO) and AUDIO-RIGHT on the media center rear panel. The red cable
connects to the R (right) channel and the white cable connects to the L (left) channel.
7. Complete the NetCommand controlled recordings connections by connecting a Video cable from VIDEO IN on the
VCR rear panel to MONITOR OUTPUT on the media center rear panel.
Note: With this connection configuration, it is possible to view live cable programs through the VCR. For
best picture quality, however, always view live cable programs directly from the cable box (connected to
ANT-1) instead of the VCR.
Figure 8. Connecting a VCR to an Antenna or Wall Outlet Cable
Note: NetCommand® will assume your VCR is connected to inputs as shown on this page. If you use any
other inputs for your VCR or add a second VCR, this change must match in the NetCommand system. See Edit NetCommand... in Chapter 3 for more information.
