Cable radio as an option
Some cable TV providers make FM radio signals available through the cable service to your
home. This cable connects to the FM antenna jack on the back panel of the media center.
For instructions on how to make this connection, contact your cable TV provider.
Note: Make sure your cable radio installation includes a signal splitter to prevent the cable TV
band from entering the media center. For details, contact a qualified installer.
Connecting your TV to the system
These instructions will enable you to connect the media center to your TV in the most basic
manner. This will enable you to verify that the system operates correctly and to begin enjoying
its various features right away.
Note: For other options, refer to “Higher quality connections you might consider” on page 25.
Audio connections
• Use the supplied stereo audio cable. It connects the left (L) and right (R) audio outputs on
the rear panel of your TV to the Audio IN jacks L and R for TV on the media center rear
panel (Figure 13).
• If you prefer to connect a digital audio cable to the media center, BE SURE to make the
analog connection (using the cable supplied) too. This ensures consistent transmission and
prevents loss of sound related to occasional degradation of the incoming digital signal.
