Connect the HDTV Inputs
(Optional)
If your VidaBox came with HDTV input(s), you may directly connect them to the
VidaBox’s X ATSC HDTV OTA Input(s). Before doing so, make sure that your
HDTV antenna is installed properly.
If there are no HDTV inputs, skip this section and go to Connect the Video Output
on page 13
How many HDTV inputs do you have?
1. One – Go to Connecting Directly from a HDTV Coaxial Cable below.
2. Two – Go to Using a Splitter and/or Amplifier below.
Connecting Directly from a Coaxial Cable:
1. Take your incoming HDTV coaxial cable and plug it directly into the X ATSC
HDTV OTA Input.
2. Move on to the next section, Connect the Video Output on page 13
Using a Splitter and/or Amplifier:
1. Take your incoming HDTV coaxial cable and plug it directly into a 1-to-2 coaxial
splitter and/or splitter-amplifier combination device, as shown on the left.
Note: You may wish to use a splitter-amplifier combination device to attain better
video quality. HDTV signals are sensitive to degradation, and may not work if you
are splitting an already weak signal with a 1-to-2 passive splitter.
2. Take the 2 coaxial output cables and plug them into the X ATSC HDTV OTA
Inputs
