This section focuses on the connections from your cable or

The instructions in this section show one of several pos-
sible variations on connecting your tuner. For further assis-
tance on optional configurations, contact your cable or sat-
ellite provider.

connected to the VIDEO3 jacks of the receiver.
3. If your cable TV tuner and TV have the COMPONENT
VIDEO jacks, you can also connect them as shown on the
left.

a digital (optical or coaxial) cable between the satellite
tuners digital output jack and the receivers VIDEO2,
VIDEO3 or VIDEO4 digital input jack as shown in the
figure on the left.
The illustration shows two digital connections, one for
coaxial connection and one for optical connection. Your
satellite tuner supports one or the other of these con-
nection methodsdo not connect both.

you connect the analog cables to VIDEO2 and the digi-
tal optical cable to VIDEO3, your satellite tuner will
not work correctly.
