How to Connect

Refer to the diagram on page 8 for the location of the sockets identified by numbers in the procedures in this section.

Step 1: Connect to the antenna

Connect the antenna lead coming from your antenna wall plate to the TV ANT IN socket on the

(socket 1).

Step 2: Choose an installation method

There are a number of methods for connecting the , depending on your preference and the connection types on your TV. These methods are labelled A, B and C below.

TIP: The various video connection options available provide differing degrees of video quality. In ascending order of quality, these connections are Composite (good), S-Video (better) and Component (best).

A: Y / Pb / Pr (Component) using the supplied RCA blue–red–green lead

For Component video, connect to your TV with the supplied Y / Pb / Pr Component cable (with blue, red and green leads). Connect the leads between the Y, Pb and Pr sockets on the group 6, taking care to match the colour of a lead with the colour of the socket), and the corresponding Component sockets on your TV. (The Component sockets on the TV have the same colour-coding.)

You will need to make separate connections for left and right audio via the audio sockets in socket group 8. This can be done using the supplied RCA cable.

For right audio, connect the red RCA lead between the red audio socket in socket group 8 on the

and the corresponding socket on your TV.

For left audio, connect the white RCA lead between the white socket in socket group 8 on the

and the corresponding socket on your TV.

(socket

B. Separate S-Video (Y/C) connector

If your TV has a 4-pin Mini Din S-Video socket, you can connect an S-Video cable between socket 4 on the supplied.)

You will need to make separate connections for left and right audio via the audio sockets in socket group 9. This can be done using the supplied RCA cable.

and the corresponding S-Video socket on your TV. (An S-Video cable is not

For right audio, connect the red RCA lead between the red audio socket in socket group 9 on the

and the corresponding socket on your TV.

For left audio, connect the white RCA lead between the white socket in socket group 9 on the

and the corresponding socket on your TV.

C: CVBS (Composite) using the supplied RCA red–white–yellow lead

Using the appropriate colour-coding on socket 7 and socket group 9 you can connect to your TV with the supplied RCA cable. This gives you CVBS (Composite Video) and MPEG-2 stereo audio.

For video, connect the yellow RCA lead between the yellow video socket (socket 7) on the

and the corresponding socket on your TV.

For right audio, connect the red RCA lead between the red audio socket in socket group 9 on the

and the corresponding socket on your TV.

For left audio, connect the white RCA lead between the white socket in socket group 9 on the

and the corresponding socket on your TV.

Step 3: Optional connections

Dolby Digital

Dolby digital bitstream audio S/PDIF can be achieved using a coaxial cable. (This cable is not supplied.) The cable should be connected between socket 5 on the socket on your Dolby Digital decoder amplifier. See “Multi-language and Dolby Digital broadcasting” on page 22 for instructions on how to choose Dolby audio.

and the S/PDIF

Connecting a recording device (such as a VCR)

To connect a recording device (such as a VCR), connect an RF cable (not supplied) between the LOOP OUT socket on the (Another cable should be connected between the recording device and the TV. For instructions, consult the user’s manual that came with your recording device or TV.)

(socket 2) and the ANT IN connector on the recording device.
