12 Setup 2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver There are several ways to set up the digital receiver. Set up the digital receiver suitably to your television and other devices. If you have any problem with your setup or need help, contact your dealer. 2.4.1 Connecting to the antenna Whatever sort of connection you have between the digital receiver and the television, you need to connect the digital receiver to the antenna so that it can receive digital television broadcasts.
2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 13 to the LNB 2 IN connector with a loop cable, even though the digital receiver is designed to operate independently over two antennas. NOTE Perhaps you are expecting that the satellite antenna could simultaneously catch all frequencies coming from a satellite and send them to the digital receiver. However, the satellite antenna only sends the frequencies that it can catch with the LNB frequency and polarisation specified by the digital receiver.
14 Setup To use the HDMI output If you have a high definition television set, you should use an HDMI cable for best results. Plug one end of the cable into the HDMI socket on the digital receiver, and plug the other end into the matching socket on your television. In this case, you do not have to make audio connection because it can output stereo audio or digital audio as well. To use the SCART output For best results with a standard television set, you should use a SCART cable.
2.4 Connecting up your digital receiver 15 To use the Component video output You need to obtain a Component video cable (RCA cable) to use the Component video output. Plug one ends of the cable into the Y (green), Pb (blue) and Pr (red) sockets on the digital receiver, and plug the other ends into the matching sockets on your television.
16 Setup To make the audio connection You need to obtain an audio cable (RCA cable) to link the audio connectors. Plug one ends of the cable into the AUDIO L (white) and AUDIO R (red) sockets on the digital receiver, and plug the other ends into the matching sockets on your television or audio-video receiver. To enjoy Dolby Digital audio, your television or audio-video receiver must be able to decode Dolby Digital audio, and you need to obtain an S/PDIF cable.
