The STB-1001S2 has a variety of options for connecting your TV (and audio
system). Use the hardware connections best suited to your equipment; the
following figure shows some examples.

• If your TV or audio system has a coaxial S/PDIF jack, use RCA cables to

connect it to the STB-1001S2’s S/PDIF and CVBS (video) jacks. If you
use the red connector to connect to the S/PDIF jack on the STB­1001S2, make sure you use the red connector to connect to the S/PDIF
jack on your TV or audio system.

• If your TV or audio system does not have a coaxial S/PDIF jack, use

RCA cables to connect it to the STB-1001S2's L, R and CVBS (video)
jacks. Make sure the color of your connectors matches the jack it is
using.
