Basedonthe advantages[isted above, decidewhat deviceyou want to useas the tuner.
Connect the antenna or cable source to the input of your tuner. (If you chose your television as the tuner, then you're done. Go watch your Entertainment Machine.)
Connect the output of yourtuner to the input of the next device.
If you usedA/V cables for step 3, set the "next
