2. Connecting to your cable or satellite set-top box

a. Connections

i. Video inputs from your set-top box to your @TV: You can connect

your @TV to your cable or satellite box via composite or component

cables; we recommend component because they provide better

overall video quality.

ii. Audio inputs: your @TV has a traditional RCA-style composite input

available for both the right and left channels of audio from your

cable or satellite box.

iii. IR blasters (infrared) to control your set-top box: your @TV comes

with a set of IR blasters. These plug into the back of the @TV and

allow it to send IR commands to your cable or satellite box, just like

your home remote control. Identifying where your cable or satellite

box receives the commands from its remote control will help you

place them in the optimal location.

b. Video pass-through

i. This feature is useful only if you currently have your cable box

connected to your home TV with the same connections that you

would like to use for your @TV; it allows you to directly pass the

input video from your cable or satellite box through the @TV to your

home TV. If you have your TV connected to your cable or satellite

box via HDMI and have free component or composite connections,

you have no need to use the video out connections.

ConneCting to your Cable or satellite set-top box

c. Other issues

i. HDMI syncing In rare cases, certain cable or satellite boxes

automatically disable analog outputs like the ones @TV uses

whenever an HDMI enabled device (like an HDTV) is connected

to them; this is because that particular cable or satellite box

manufacturer has chosen to enable advanced content protection

protocols that are triggered by your TV/STB combination. The

best workaround is to utilize @TV’s HD pass-through feature and

take the 1080i component cable signal from your cable or satellite

box and pass it through to your television. This will enable you to

enjoy @TV and also watch your cable or satellite on your HDTV in

1080i quality.

ii. Audio troubleshooting. If you are experiencing distortion or

another audio issue, please check to make sure that the cables

connecting your cable or satellite box to your @TV are attached

correctly. Turning on your TV to listen to the audio and switching

to other channels will help you pinpoint whether it is an issue with

the broadcast or something else. something else.
