How to Connect
Refer to the diagram on page 7 for the location of the sockets identified by numbers in the procedures in
this section.
Make sure you have installed the batteries in the remote control before you begin connecting the receiver
to your TV. Depending on the connection method you choose, you may need to adjust certain settings
using the remote control before you can see a digital broadcast.
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 5).
TIP: You probably already have an antenna lead coming from your antenna wall plate to the TV
ANT IN socket on the back of your TV. If so, simply unplug the lead at the TV and plug it into the
TV ANT IN socket on the
.
Step 2: Choose an installation method
There are a number of methods of connecting the . These methods are labelled A, B, C and D
below.
NOTE: The various video connection options available provide differing degrees of video quality.
In ascending order of quality, these connections are Composite (good),, Component (better )
and HDMI (best).

.
B: Y/Pb/Pr (Component) using a RCA blue–red–green cable
For Component video, connect to your TV with a Y/Pb/Pr Component cable (with blue, red and green leads,
note component cable is not supplied). Connect the leads between the Y, Pb and Pr sockets on the
(socket 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 colourcoding.)
You will need to make separate connections for left and right audio via the audio sockets in socket group 4.
This can be done using the supplied RCA cable. (Match the colour of the plugs with the colour of the
sockets.)
11
Page 12
C: CVBS (Composite) using the supplied RCA red–white–yellow cable
Using the appropriate socket colour-coding on sockets 4 and 7, you can connect to your TV with the
supplied red–white–yellow RCA cable. This gives you CVBS (Composite Video) and MPEG-4 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 audio, connect the same RCA cable between the white and red sockets in socket group 4 and the
corresponding sockets on your TV. Match the colour of the leads—white and red—with the colour of the
sockets. (All three leads of the cable—yellow, white and red—should be plugged into the same socket
group on your TV.)
