Cable or satellite box options
There are several ways to make the cable/satellite connections. Read these instructions to
see how they will work with the components you own. If you have component jacks (three
colored jacks) on your cable or satellite box and on your TV, you may prefer using another
type of connection (refer to “Connecting a DVR in addition to cable/satellite” on page 33).
To connect the cable or satellite box
Connect cable/satellite L & R Audio OUT to the L & R Audio IN jacks for CBL/SAT on the
media center (Figure 26).
1. Make the audio connection:
• Connect the L and R Audio output jacks from the cable/satellite box to the L and R
Audio IN for CBL/SAT on the media center.
2. Make the video connection:
• Make EITHER a composite (A) OR an S-Video (B) connection from the cable or satellite
box to the media center and use the SAME type of connection from the media center to
a TV Video input (Figure 26).
A. If the cable/satellite box has only a Composite video output jack, connect that to the !
Composite Video IN jack on the media center.
B. If the cable/satellite box has an S-Video output jack, connect it to the S-Video IN jack
on the media center. Then use another S-Video cable to connect the S-Video OUT
jack on the media center to a Video input jack on the TV.
