Basic Connection

Caution:

Be sure to turn off the Product and equipment to be connected before connecting.

Read through the operation manual for the equipment to be connected.

Be sure that the colours of the jacks and plugs match up when using a VIDEO/AUDIO cable.

Be sure to keep the Product connection cables separate from the TV antenna cable when you install the Product, because it may cause electrical interference when you are watching television programmes.

Connecting to ANTENNA IN/RF OUT

AND CONNECTIONSETTINGS INITIAL

TV (with external input jacks)

You will not be able to hear all of the sound being output by the Product if you use the supplied VIDEO/AUDIO cable to a monaural TV that has only one AUDIO input jack.

Make sure that colours of the jacks and plugs match up when connecting the cable.

Connect the Product directly to the TV. If you attempt to view video on a TV connected via a VCR, the copy protection function will scramble the picture.

If you want to listen to the audio through audio equipment, connect only the VIDEO cable to the TV.

Using the Component Colour (Y, PB (CB) and PR (CR)) Output Jacks

Colour Output Jacks (Y, PB (CB) and

PR (CR)):

Some TVs and monitors are equipped with input jacks for the component colour signals (Y, PB (CB) and PR (CR)). By connecting these input jacks to the corresponding output jacks on the Product, you can enjoy higher quality playback images.

If you are using a TV or monitor equipped with Y, PB (CB) and PR (CR) jacks, use these jacks rather than the S-VIDEO OUT jack.

Audio equipment

Digital Connection to an MD to Record a CD

Some Audio CDs and VIDEO CDs have a short silent section between musical tracks. When sound from discs such as these is digitally recorded by connecting the Product directly to a digital recorder (such as an MD player), the music may be recorded continuously and track numbers may be lost.

Digital Connection to Audio Equipment or MD Player without a Dolby Digital Decoder

Audio CD or VIDEO CD

Play the disc as you normally would, with the audio mode set to “L+R” (see page 85). With a digital connection, audio of a disc recorded with DTS sounds abnormal in this case.

DVD

With a digital connection, audio cannot be produced from a DVD recorded with Dolby Digital (5.1 channel), Dolby Surround (Pro Logic), DTS or MPEG Audio, so you should use an analogue connection to play such discs. Discs with linear PCM audio should play normally.

This connection is not possible if the processor or amplifier to which you want to connect does not have a coaxial digital input jack.

Setting the Channels

Your Product can receive VHF channels 1A to E12 (US AIR 2 to 13), CATV/HYPER channels S1 to S41 and UHF channels E21 to E69 (US AIR 14 to 78). Your Product has 84 programmable channel positions, each of which can be set to any of the broadcast and CATV/HYPER channels.

Channel positions 13 through 83 will not be displayed when selected. These channel positions have been set at the factory to be skipped.

To view a skipped channel position, tune that position to a broadcast CATV/HYPER channel, or cancel the channel skip function for that position.
