Connecting a Digital Tuner/Set Top Box
If you have an external digital tuner (like a set top box for satellite or cable TV) you need to connect it and your TV
to the jacks shown below in order to play MPEG signals (which most digital satellite broadcasting uses). Make sure
you use a digital connection as well as an analog one for the audio on the satellite tuner, as pictured below.

Connecting a TV with an Internal Digital Tuner
If you have an TV with an internal digital tuner you need to connect it to the jacks shown below in order to play
MPEG signals (which most digital satellite broadcasting uses). Make sure you use a digital connection as well as an
analog one for the audio, as pictured below.
Why you need an analog connection as well as a
digital one:
• If you don’t have an optical output on your TV tuner
you will need to use an of analog connection.
• If the program you want to watch isn’t output from
the optical terminal you need an analog connection.
• If you want to get a signal from a video deck instead
of a TV tuner you need an analog connection.
Match the shape
of terminal and
the optical plug.
