How to Connect My Set Top Box to the TV

    Connecting with Coaxial Cable

    • 1). Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the STB. On the back of the box, you will find a coaxial output that has spiral edges like a screw and will read "To TV/VCR." Do not confuse this with the similar input that reads "RF In," which is where the cable input goes.

    • 2). Connect the opposite end of the coaxial cable to the input on the back of your TV. This will read "RF In" or "Cable In."

    • 3). Turn on your TV and tune it to channel 3, which is the coaxial video input channel.

    • 4). Power on your STB. It may take a moment to initialize.

    Connecting with Composite AV Cables

    • 1). Insert one end of the AV cable into the video outputs on the STB that read "To TV" or similar. The cables and inputs are color coded yellow, white, and red, so just match the colors.

    • 2). Insert the other end of the AV cable into the matching inputs on the TV. Your TV may have multiple inputs as well as outputs. Just be sure to take note of which video input you plug the cables into.

    • 3). Turn on your television and tune it to the proper video input channel. There will be a button on your remote labeled "Video" or "Input" that should accomplish this.

    • 4). Power on your STB.

    Connecting with Component Cables

    • 1). Insert one end of the component cable into the video output on the STB. Like the composite cables, these are color coded green, blue, and red.

    • 2). Connect the white and red analog audio cable to the same output as the component video cable.

    • 3). Insert the other end of the component and audio cables into the matching inputs on your TV.

    • 4). Turn on your TV and tune it to the proper video input channel.

    • 5). Power on your STB.

    Connecting with HDMI

    • 1). Insert one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI output on the STB.

    • 2). Insert the other end into the HDMI input on your TV. HDMI cables handle audio as well as video, so it is not necessary to connect any audio cable.

    • 3). Turn on your TV and tune it to the HDMI video input channel.

    • 4). Power on your STB.
