4. Setting-up
Di erent types of TVs and other devices can be connected
to your ZAS HD SAT.
This manual lists the most common ways to connect it. If
you have any problem connecting your receiver please
contact your dealer
There are two ways you can connect the receiver ZAS HD
SAT to your TV:
• via SCART or
• via HDMI (high de nition).
If your TV has an HDMI connector, use this type of
connection as you will get the best image quality.
When the connection is made using a SCART cable, the
receiver ZAS HD SAT may provide signal RGB or CVBS
(composite video). By default (factory set), the ZAS HD SAT
is con gured to provide the CVBS signal as there are some
TVs that do not support RGB output. However, for higher
image quality is recommended that you select RGB (if your
TV is compatible with these signals).
To change con guration settings from CVBS to RGB, do
so via the menu “Format Scart Video” (see Section 11.2.
Output Settings).
Connect the signal from the antenna to the RF IN ZAS
HD SAT (simple installation).
Connect the video and audio signals between the
receiver ZAS HD SAT and the TV set by means of a
SCART or a HDMI extender.
Turn-on the equipments.
Power the receiver ZAS HD SAT using its mains adapter
unit.
- Televés recommends an HDMI cable category 2
(high speed).
- If your TV has only a DVI connector, use an
HDMI-DVI adapter. Connect an audio cable for
sound output.
- All cables used to wire the receiver will be
shielded.
- Do not plug the mains adapter of the receiver
until all the other connections have been made.
